It was reeeealllly hard to narrow it down this week!
I love seeing how differently different people see the same picture.
So wondrous.  So interesting.  And you’re all so funny and amazing.  Below is a smattering of the range, but do treat yourself to reading all the entries!
And thank you one and all for sharing yourselves….

But I know you shall not succumb to such!
Leave your caption/title/commentary in the comment section and you will:
A) make me laugh, for which I will love you, and
B) be in the running for an awesome Wyoming care package ~
Mike’s been lugging home bunches of awesome rocks and gizzard stones

    “Will they really get stuck if I do this?”

    Shreve — Please take another (this time a “blowupable”) long-distance shot of the distant, lone figure of Charlie behind the fence, sitting and patiently waiting for your return. That’s my all-time favorite photo. (I want to frame it to hang on my “picture wall” in my living room and also to use it as inspiration for my writing group.)
