“Imagination thrives on mystery”―Patrick Harpur Well, this had been an extra fun Mystery Photo Game, but tonight we come down to our last mystery photo for this time. I’ve strained my brain enough coming up with five mystery photos. And I didn’t do too bad with the first ones. I managed to get some tricky ones in there for some …
Getting Our Imaginations in Focus
“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” ―Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court The same as every time I post this game, I am having a great time and enjoying all your guesses. Probably a little better because you aren’t all guessing the same thing. That means not all of you …
A Different Kind of Shaker Character
The Gifted was my fifth Shaker story. At the time I wanted to write about a different sort of female character. I wanted her to be sweet and loving and yet have a difficult time fitting in with the Shakers. Then I wanted to contrast the Shaker life with the nearby Harrodsburg Springs where the upper crust of society went to …
The Marvelous Adventure of Reading
“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have.” ~Lloyd Alexander Thank all of you for playing my Caption Game.

Mysteries and Stories Can Be Surprising

It’s fun to do a little playing and using our imaginations even after …
Blackberry Season – Photo Caption Game
Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. ~Dr. Seuss It’s blackberry season out here on the farm. I’ve been over in the field fighting the briars, the weeds, and the bugs for some wild blackberries. Made a pie and some blackberry jam. Now I’m picking the tame thornless blackberries we have out by the garden. They’ve gotten …
And the Mysteries Are Solved
Life is the greatest of all mysteries, and though I seek to solve its many riddles, my deepest fear is that I will succeed. — Brian Rathbone And so once again the Mystery Photo Game draws to a close. I hope you had fun. I did although I had a monumental failure of making a mystery out of the last photo …
“What in the World Is It?”
Life is not what you expect: it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns. ~Ilaiyaraaja I must admit that I was glad you weren’t all right or nearly so with your guesses on the last mystery photo like on the first picture. That gives me a little more courage to continue on with this game and to …
