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 Coyote’s “In Praise of Spring” Pix with Caption Contest. Within the last week I stumbled onto some “interesting” images. Knowing full well the gravitas of the ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times,” I present for your photo-weenie pleasure the next installment of CoyoteOldStyle’s 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. Have at it and have fun!

Kudos! and pats on the back to all who entered. There were so many really great responses. Truly. I'll treasure my runner up recognition proudly!
This was fun, CoyoteOldStyle... thanks for posting ~ hosting!
(and thinks it would be great fun to do it again...sweet talking here)
:)
I am admiring your photos, along with all the pithy captions our cadre of Open Sal-on reader/writers gave forward to the universe.
Subdivisions of the Future is just staggeringly beautiful, you know.
like~water, I devoted a large budget to the quality awards that are being bestowed. I'm glad that you're happy with it! (suitable for framing and display on the mantel)
Rich, thanks, better late than never. I'm always pleased to see you here. That photo is of a table top in the Stata Center at MIT.
Gary, sorry about that. Perhaps next time I'll keep the contest open for longer. I know there's a time difference between here and there. That must have been the problem, right?
Now, when does the damn party start? I understand there will be a 'fondling of the veggie' demonstration in the produce department!
mantel... you got a mantel in here?? that implies fireplace... damn.
all I got was two sticks with instructions to rub 'em together on the kitchen linoleum...

Thanks N.
