With a nod to Open Salon’s slogan “You make the headlines,” on my page,
You Make the Captions!
Last month, we had a lot of fun with Contest the Second: CoyoteOldStyle’s Photo Caption Contest. Today I’m offering for your captioning pleasure some new “interesting” images. Knowing full well the gravitas of the ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times,” I present you photo-weenies with this newly expanded and improved incarnation of CoyoteOldStyle’s April’s End Photo Caption Contest.
Write some creative, pithy, thought-provoking, silly, happy, sad or descriptive captions and indicate which photo they are for. I will be picking winners and will update this page with the winning captions tomorrow night. Have at it and have fun!
