You all never cease to wow me. Entries were so good, I couldn’t choose. So I let Charlie pick the winner.
Below is a list of the ten finalists, posted in the order they came in. Below that is a video of Charlie picking the winner, which I think you all will enjoy. Congrats Karen! Great line, and Charlie certainly does live outside the matrix.

There IS No Wall
Red Headed Wood Checker
If you look REALLY close it looks like the Virgin Mary.

• • • I don’t have any idea what’s going on here, and I was there. So tell me the story you see, and leave your caption, title, or thought-bubble dialogue in the comment section of this post. The quirkiest, cleverest entry will win a Wyoming care package, containing a number of goodies including an authentic Native American arrowhead that was half made, then discarded. Mike found it last week and finished the other side. It’s of gorgeous linen-colored stone, two-toned as the original edges are weathered and the new edges are newly exposed rock, and measures 2.5 inches long. Now, entertain me!

“I stand here by the Western Wall”
(That’s the first line from the Rosanne Cash song, “Western Wall”). For this picture, I also like these lyrics:
“It ain’t much but it might be home.
If I ever loved a place at all,
It’s the Western Wall.”

A bit of bathroom wall humor came to mind
Here I sit broken hearted
Came to poop and only farted

It looks like a scene from The Blair Witch Project

During the winter of his puphood, the coyote often dreamed of a career in home inspection. Pondering the durability of log cabin mortar, the coyote decided it was likely delicious.

I just saw this, so cute. I’m sure this is already here, but it reminds me of a toddler in “Time out”

Looks like Charlie needed some “me” time =)
I’m probably too late for the contest, but my first thought was “Staring Contest”, like he’s trying to stare down the wall in an epic showdown of Coyote vs. Cement.

I really do bow in awe to y’all!
SO clever…all of you!
This is so much fun! Thanks Shreve…Charlie.

Love the video, Chloe had a nibble at 8, I see!

Quick, Charlie! What’s the cube root of 125?

This is my absolute all time favorite of Charlie. The qualities of baby-ness, softness, and the gone away look boys have, and the remote & wild inherent in Charlie. Plus, I think Shreve’s original title of this was “Little Weirdo”
