Oh, creative crazies out there in internetland.
I can’t wait to see what you do with this one!

Please leave your title, caption, or Charlie-commentary in the comment section of this post and you will instantly be in the running to WIN!  This week’s prize is an 11×12 print of Inside Joke (click here to see it) which is the result of some sort of inside joke my beloved printer-man played on me last week because I did not order it!  But found it in my large envelope of prints when I got back home.  And on my receipt.  So now one of you gets to win it!

    Hi Shreve….While I don’t have a caption for this photo…..ones I was thinking of have sort of already been used….I did want to tell you that this pic reminds me of an old print my grandpa used to have. It was of a collie with a lamb at his feet, in the snow, and the collie is howling as if to say to the cowboys you forgot one. All Charlie needs is that lamb at his feet and it would pratically be the same.

    I want to wish you and Charlie a wonderful birthday! Three and thirty three…there must be something there!!

    Well, OK, here’s a caption…..Wheeee…it’s fun to be three!! LOL
    and maybe “Snow Song in Sepia” (snow song as in swan song) :)

    Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
    What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
    O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
    O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
