Clouds


Yesterday, after many attempts to do a handstand into a back bend, I wearily collapsed onto a patch of clover. I lay down, staring at the sky. It had rained earlier, and the clouds were perfect for "imaginings." White, puffy, cumulo-somethings. Dragon! Castle! Dog! Then I realized-what a wonderful idea for an anniversary contest (this is after all, the one year anniversary of A Splotch of Ink--exciting!)!  Suddenly full of energy, I ran inside to grab the camera and take pictures.

First the contest, then the pictures.

Look at the pictures below, and based on their numbers, comment what you see. Please follow the rules.

Contest Rules
  1. You do NOT have to be over eighteen to enter.
  2. Any persons related to in any way to the author of this blog are ENCOURAGED to enter.
  3. You MUST write a caption for each picture.
  4. You have until the end of April (April 30, 2013) to enter.
  5. 5 winners will be chosen during the beginning of May, either randomly or by what you caption. At that time my interpretations will be shown as well.
  6. If you don't win, don't sue.
  7. If you don't want your entry to be public until the contest is over, say so in your entry.
  8. Please no anonymous entries.
  9. Only one entry per person, though more than one entry per household is encouraged as long as each person in the household thinks of it for themselves.

Now, everyone is wondering what the prize will be. The five lucky winners will have the chance to do a guest post to be edited by myself and my editor. Yes, I do have an editor. If you do not want to do a guest post, you may pass it to the next person in line. 

Happy Imagining!
