Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. ~Allen Klein
I hope you are having fun playing my Photo Caption Game. I looked at pictures tonight until my head was spinning trying to decide a good one to share with you. I wanted a picture that told a story or at least that might tell a story if a person wanted to use some imagination. This picture does have a story behind it that I could tell you, but I want you to come up with your captions without knowing the whole story. I will tell you that SHE is the front part of the word RIFF on that car.
But back to Wednesday’s photo of the little girl examining the leaf. You all came up with wonderful captions. I especially liked Hope’s where she had the girl wondering if God used crayons to color the leaves. Lavon saying the trees were wearing pretty dresses was great too and how neat that Marji thought of the leaf looking like a butterfly. Of course, some of you thought about how babies do love tasting things. I also loved Leslie’s more serious caption saying the picture title might be “A Study in Wonder.”
It is fun to think about those firsts of a little child. The first time when they decide to stand up and walk like everybody else. The first time they go out and see the trees and feel the grass. The first time they experience the wonder and cold of snow. And the first time they see the leaves they thought were green turn red and gold. That was my caption for the picture. I imagined her thinking, “I thought these were green.” Well, if she had known her colors. I guess those are other firsts. Knowing the sky is called blue and the clouds can be white or gray. Knowing that dogs bark and cows moo.
Those baby minds have so much to absorb and learn. The amazing thing is that they do it so quickly and naturally. I suppose we keep learning and absorbing new things all our lives. After all, look at us learning all this electronic stuff and how to use a phone as a camera and a computer and a book and a tv and a radio. It boggles the mind to think of how things have changed since we were those babies learning about the leaves changing color in the fall
Some of you captioned the picture of Marley and Frankie. Some of those captions were on the money with Frankie. He is always in a hurry to be chasing something. The idea of them posing and smiling for my camera made me smile. If I want to get a picture of Frankie, I have to be fast and ready with my camera. Marley is much easier and does some great posing for pictures. I’m sure Marley does very often wish Frankie would slow down to let him keep up. Marji said they were posing and then expected a treat. That could be. Marley loves treats. Frankie takes them but sometimes it seems as if he grabs them more to get it over with so he can be off to something else.
Remember, if you leave a caption or any comment on this post, you’ll get an entry in a drawing to win your choice of one of my autographed books. I’ll pick three winner and the deadline to enter in October 14, 2023 at midnight EST. You also have to be at least 18 to enter.

You might even be able to guess where the picture was taken. Maybe.
So what caption do you give for this picture of a lovely lady and a sheriff’s car?
(I’m early with Sunday’s post. I aimed to do it tonight an dpost it tomorrow, but accidently hit post. Usually I’m late instead of early, but not this week.)

I almost missed these comments, but they are good ones too.
Connie, my friend does have a great smile and I’m not sure how happy she was about me snapping her picture. But she did keep smiling.
Jolynn, oops. I’m guessing the sheriff wouldn’t be too happy about a strawberry milkshake spilled in his new car.
Joyce, uh-oh. Sounds like somebody might have been caught doing something not so smart. LOL. At least, she found her clothes to put back on after that skinny-dipping escapade.

And more imaginative takes on the lady in the sheriff’s car.
Carol, your caption might take the most imagination to see that bear driving, but I think I’d be climbing out of the car if that was the case. LOL.
Eileen, could be sheriffs go on date night in their patrol car, but I’m with the lady. I think they should have taken a different car.
Pamela, some sheriff’s and deputies might be fun to ride along with for sure. I made Michael a great looking guy in my Hidden Spring mysteries.
Margaret, I’m hoping the poor lady hadn’t had too many experiences of riding in the back seat!!
Fran, your caption sounds very reasonable. A wasp in the car might make a lot of people ready to spill out of the door.

More great captions. I’m impressed.
Jane, she could have been married to the sheriff.
Donna Jean, I would have never thought of the welcome wagon caption. That has me smiling.
Lana, could be if your caption about her out-talking any other woman the sheriff had been around, he might have been glad to let her out of the car!
Hope, I loved yours. People do get of the way of those police cars.
Deborah, could be she did get in the wrong car. I had a niece who did that once in front of a hotel and we have told the story a zillion times and laugh every time. She was upset because their room wasn’t ready and she got in the car fussing a mile a minute about it to her husband when the owner of the car cleared his throat and said meekly that he thought she might be in the wrong car. Her husband was in the car behind them, laughing his head off.
Ann, could be she is a writer wanting to write about a sheriff and is riding along to get some first hand experience.

You all out did yourselves with all these great captions. I’ve been away from home on a mini-vacation. The place was beautiful. Right on the lake, but internet came and went. Besides I was visiting with my family with no time for computers. 🙂 But I’m home now and enjoying your captions before I come up with our last picture for this caption game.
Suzanne, I think you might have come up with exactly what my friend was about to say to me.
Shari, you are right that sheriff’s and their deputies do have wives. Could be they give them rides now and again.
Cindy, she might have been in trouble if I had to bail her out, but I would have tried.
Dana, isn’t it always just some kind of slight misunderstanding?
Lee, she might have been saying “you won’t believe what I did.”
Marji, no handcuffs were good and you might be almost on the money with the reason she showed up in a sheriff’s car to meet me.
Lisa, I love your caption. I’m sure that is the seat where Barney Fife would be riding.
Hey Beverly, didn’t you say that if we went skinny-dipping at the country club after midnight, like old times, that no one would know??
( laughing hysterically) “I thought you were just kidding, when you told me that your lid fell off your strawberry milkshake, in My NEW CAR!!! ( laughing ) I can’t believe it, things like that only happen when you have a new car, you know!
Here’s my biggest smile for your picture, hope it don’t break the camera!
