photo taken June 7, 2007 \u2022 title thanks to Jonathan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, amazing entries!\u00a0 Such fun, such sensitivity, such weirdness you ALL show.\u00a0 Somehow I managed to narrow the 270+ entries down to a dozen ~ here are the ones that duked it out till the end:<\/p>\n

Missed! Do it again! (You channelled Charlie with this one, RedWolf)<\/em>
\nThwarted at the Fort
\nHard Growth
\nBone Thugs-N-Harmony
\n“Peek-a-caribou”
\nPreyground
\n“OK OK\u00a0\u00a0I get the point!”
\nA blurry relationship
\n“…and Charlie’s down by seven points…”
\nFrom the Playocene period
\nI know what you’re thinking, Pup! You’re thinking “Has he been de-clawed or NOT?” Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is the swat of an orange tom cat, the most powerful feline swat in the cat world, it will bloody your nose right quick, \u00a0SO you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk? (Eli as Dirty Harry?? Too perfect!) <\/em><\/p>\n

And Jonathan: in the end yours rose to the top ~ not one but two puns???\u00a0 Impressive.\u00a0 And the title is true – this was a game of tag, a big game to both of them.\u00a0 Your words in tandem with the image take me back to that moment so vividly, as I stood and laughed as they earnestly, playfully tried to tag eachother.\u00a0 Thanks for that.\u00a0 And thanks to all who entered!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 This photo is kind of a mess when you first look at it.\u00a0 But then you notice there is much more going on than just a big mess on my floor.\u00a0 Charlie ducks behind an enormous elk antler; Eli’s swat, from his perch on the steps to the loft, is a blur.\u00a0 Fill in the blanks left by the chaos of this image, and leave your entry in the comment section of this post.<\/p>\n

The prize this week is a manifestation of the poetry of chaos.\u00a0 At first it looks like nothing, like less than nothing.\u00a0 But upon further examination, it shows itself to be a miracle.\u00a0 It is a piece of petrified bone, and it is amazing.\u00a0 You can see the shape of the bone and the network of the marrow, and it is solid rock.\u00a0 I have no idea how old this fossil is but would love to find out (if any of you know how this is done, leave me a comment or email, as I have a few pieces of it!)<\/em>.\u00a0 It’s certainly older than any of us. Here it is:<\/p>\n

I’ll also throw in some other fabulous stones from here ~
\nlepidolite, squid, etc.
