Good morning, ladies and germs. Today's contest uses two of my favorite elements -- photography and writing -- and you don't have to be a writer or photographer to play along!
As usual, the rules are simple:
- Choose a photograph from my getaway last weekend and write a corresponding caption or story opener. (Please include the photo number you're targeting.)
- Leave your entry in a comment.
- I and an unbiased third party [most likely King Rufus my DH (Deer Hunter) or one of our teenagers] will select a winner based on originality and "wow" factor, which by its very nature is unexplainable.
- No more than 20 words, please.
- Contest runs today through Friday, June 12th. The winner will be announced sometime next week when my company clears out and my head gets screwed back on straight. :()
- Winner will receive a "Writer's Package" consisting of some tools of the trade. Now y'all know that means some coffee too, plus other goodies. (Be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog or leave an email address if you don't have a blog.)
- Pass the word around and let's get started.
Since I'm feeling creative, I'm going to try to compile parts of pieces of your entries to form a "found poem" afterwards. You'll be welcome to do the same.
Good luck!

I'll give it a go. I love the idea of writing something about pictures!

Beyond blankets of dirt and canopied leaves, far below the spreading sunlight it waits; my place for reflection and emergence.

Caption for #1... "There better be a rest stop around that corner."
Hello - just saying hi and not entering, but love the photos *smiling*
Carol, I went about an hour from home to the St. Francisville area. It feeds the soul!
LOL, and thank you, Michelle.
Wendy, good job!
hehe, Colby. You're way too young to have a peanut bladder. :)
Well, hidy do, Mz. Kat! (Did the pics look familiar?) *smile*
Oh, I love St. Francisville and actually have a good friend from there. Beautiful area! I'll give this some thought and come back later. Thanks so much for visiting, Angie, and adding me to your reading list.

The house looked the same, the sunlight still filtered through the trees, and the gate was open saying,"Welcome Home".
This was fun!

"We're here Laura, wake up. Wake up sleepyhead. There's grandmother looking out the window! Hurry, she's waiting..."

The curves are the most painful, when the tires scrape and burn me as they slow to make the corner.
Haha, I have no idea, but there's mine. :) Fun contest!
LOL, B.J. Thanks for playing!
Wish I had more time to play, but I'm speeding through the blogosphere right now. :-) I can't wait to see what people come up with!
Oh, ladies and "germs"... I love it! LOL
Caption #3.
As the Spanish moss drooped above her, she couldn't help but think about her upper arms and neck skin.
LOL BJ. Thanks for entering!

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie...I resemble that remark! :)

#5 There it was. Mom's favorite reading spot while her boys fished. I can almost hear her hollerin, "You sit back down before you tip that boat!"
Er, LOL! Okay, so it was an attempt! Jenni
#2- As she ambled towards the dock, she was drowned in memories of dusky summer promises and firefly kissed skin.

#1
I've heard of following a Yellow Brick Road, but I guess in these lean times, two yellow lines will have to do...
This is meant to be a caption, so I hope 22 words are allowed?!
I left one here yesterday...now its gone?...here's a different one.
#3 - And the little old men lay in the stable arms of the oak, swinging their beards in the breeze.
Hope I'm not too late to get in on the contest!
#2
Mesmerized by the stillness of the water, I forgot all about the disaster my life had become.
By the way, thanks for visiting my blog.
These are all great, y'all!
