Bon Ami

photo taken July 9, 2007 • photo title thanks to Juliene

UPDATE: I’m in awe, that’s all I can say!  What entries!!!  Truly great.  Juliene, I pick yours.  I love how you tied in the two major elements of the photo with such clarity and cleverness.

Again, I had a list of runner-ups to post here but realized it was pages long, so really, if you haven’t already, click over to the comments on this post and have a read through.  I promise you will laugh out loud and your heart will melt, many times over.   Thanks everyone!  Come again for round three, same time same place, next Mon.

• • • Here we are again, another caption comment contest! To recap: My favorite, most-missed part of having comments open were the alternate titles, captions, and thought-bubbles you guys would leave for the daily photo. That’s what I’d love to see here. This week’s prize is a gorgeous naturally shed antler from a whitetail deer, which I especially love because they look like candelabras.

    On another note – I bought some curtains from you and my cats have gone crazy for them. They can’t stop smelling and snuggling them. Why do you suppose that is?

    Charlie looks like he’s thinking or saying: “Eli, are you asleep?” or “After you wake up, lets go romp around.”
    so cute~

    “We’ll always have Ten-Sleep.”

    Great photo! Reminds me of how my cat Nyssa wanted nothing to do with the kitten Maggie. Maggie would wait till Nyssa was sleeping and then inch closer and closer to her until they were touching. Nyssa would later wake up and look horrified at the situation. Funny thing is, after Nyssa was gone, when Maggie was grown, I brought home a new kitten, Emma, who did the same thing!

    an odd yet charismatic-wonderful-mysterious and heavenly love between two who were supposedly born to be enemies yet lived to be heart to heart friends!
