It has been a year since I pitched my humble tent here.
During that time, I have been fortunate to have made some wonderful friends at Open Salon. With all humility and gratitude, I thank each and every one of you for the enrichment you have brought to this Old Style coyote’s life.
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 CoyoteOldStyle’s “August En Vacance!” Photo Caption Contest. Today I’m offering, once again 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 industrial-strength photo-weenies with this newly expanded and improved incarnation of CoyoteOldStyle’s OS Anniversary Photo Caption Contest.
Write some creative, pithy, thought-provoking, silly, happy, sad or descriptive captions and indicate which photo they are for. The infallible panel of august judges will be picking winners and will update this page with the winning captions. Have at it and have fun!

All are wonderful. I declare Bill S, Kent and Zuma as the Kings and Queen of this game. ALL were wonderful and this is something that I always enjoy. Truly brilliant fun.
i think my favorite is kent's "false start" one. maybe someday i will try this, but it just isnt how my brain works - i freeze and have not a thought.
they are very fun to read though.
And they do keep coming back.
See you later this month! Let me know what you think the theme should be.
