Day 146: Need your help! (My first giveaway)

In addition to the 2+ weeks straight of sick children slowing me down, I seemed to have slammed into the proverbial creative brick wall. I've had this photo on my desktop for a couple of days; I know I had a caption in mind when I shot it, but whatever it was, it's vanished like an ice cream cone in a room full of hungry toddlers.



So, I'm coming to you for help. Write a caption for the photo and post it in the comments. The winner, as determined by a highly select group of judges (i.e. me, along with my older children), will receive his or her choice of the following items:


* A guest post on the blog

* A dozen freshly baked homemade whoopie pies, if you're local

* A custom-made camera strap cover

I'm hoping that someone out there is more creative than I'm feeling at the moment!



Here's the shot:

...aaaaaaaaaannd GO!

Day 135



The guys came running as soon as Charla screamed, but as it turned out, there was no real danger. The mouse was already dead.

Day 134




Todd was still less than happy about the amount of cleaning he'd have to do, but the fact that he remembered to pack an extra set of legs did mollify him a little bit.

Day 133


As much as he loved off-roading, the amount of effort it would take to clean his ATV was never far from Todd's mind. He couldn't ride without mentally castigating himself for going with white instead of holding out for a mud-colored model.

Day 89


Getting home after a long day, when everything had gone wrong, George was always glad to climb up to his favorite spot in the tree in his yard. There, at least, all was right was the world and he could relax without worrying about his troubles sneaking up on him.

Day 88

Kendra, Aspen, and Lily had all thoroughly enjoyed the evening social. Hors d'oeuvres, tea, and two hours spent discussing fall fashion--what's not to like?

Day 84


It was late at night, and Indy just about given up, when he stumbled into a clearing--and there it was: the Fiery Fountain of Youth.

Day 43

For rent: Cozy unfurnished one-room apartment, floor-to-ceiling windows, domed ceilings, scenic neighborhood, plenty of ventilation, rustic setting. Great potential!

Day 27

Ack! Not only did I fall asleep too early last night, while trying to put one of the kids to sleep, but my computer also decided to be uncooperative and install some updates in the middle of the night. More specifically, updates that also required a restart of the computer, which meant that all of the cropping, color editing, and adjusting I'd done to the picture was lost forever. Ugh.

So, my apologies for not having this posted on the correct day. I'm planning on changing the posting date before I publish this, just so it will show up correctly in the archives. The photo itself was taken yesterday evening, so I haven't missed my one-per-day photo challenge. Whew!

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Jake froze in his tracks and stared in awe. In all his years as a hunter, he never thought he'd find the legendary Albino Croc in its natural habitat.
