Holy moly your submissions were fantastic.

My hat is off to you.
It was really hard to choose a winner this week.

This picture brings to mind Sesame Street. For some reason. Something in Charlie’s expression, and oblivious little Chloe way up on the hill and the gigantic bleached-out bone in the foreground. And the color of the sky. And the clouds. And the black angular shadows on the ground. It’s either Sesame Street or a David Lynch movie. Can you give a name to a picture like that? I can’t, I have to write a paragraph, but I KNOW YOU CAN.
Leave your title, caption, or thought-bubble-commentary in the comment section of this post and you’ll be in the running to WIN! Hurrah! This weeks prize will be one Charlie Calendar (because I just found a box of them I didn’t know I had! Get yours here, on super sale!) and a signed 5×7 print of this image (squeee!) OK, get to naming!!

Bone in the foreground, Chloe in the background, Charlie thought it had the makings of a great music video.

Charlie hopes that bone is not a hallucination after being out in the desert all day.
Chloe just can’t bear to look when they stumble upon the remains of Snuffle-upagus.

Chloe expresses disinterest in Charlie’s hangover. Charlie bemoans that last night’s excessive dancing to ‘Bad to the Bone’ may not have been a good idea.

Still Life with Rusted Box
(That thing to the right, with the shadow in it; plus a reflection on how ‘still’ and ‘alive’ Charlie and Chloe are, in contrast to the mastadon(?) bone).

Your Sesame Street comment suddenly sparked a Schoolhouse Rock revival in me. ;-)

Ever read Shel Silversteins “Lazy Jane” poem? Here’s some blatant plagerism:
Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
Hungry
Coyote
Wanted a bite of bone
So he laid on his side
And looked like a rock
And waited
and waited
and waited
and waited
and waited
For the shadow to move
June 8th, 2010 at 12:42 am
OR a la Sesame Street:
“H” is for Hungry

B-b-bad to the bone.

Bone tired in Red Hill Town.

Don’t stay out too long in the sun
(or you’ll end up like the bleached bone).

Not a contribution to this caption contest, but just admiration for a previous caption and comment on the picture “Posing for Picasso”. Picture was hilarious and the caption was great! I need to keep up with your blogs more often! Charlie is, as always, awesome and photogenic!
