This photo features some of the original metal artwork from the “secret garden” introduced in the previous post. As I “researched” more fully the “secret garden” I learned that is exactly what owner Dave Dardis calls the garden. Here is a link to some of his original art.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the suggestions for the title to yesterday’s “Caption This” post. It is fascinating to see how each viewer interprets the image as well as how the viewer’s personality shines through in their suggestion for a title.
Here are a few of the suggestions:
“De-vine-ly inspired… but a little fishy”
“Entrance to the Possibilities”
“Enter Through the Narrow Gate”
“Portal to the Abyss”
“An Unfamiliar Passage to Discovery”
“Alice’s Adventure into Wonderland”
“The Secret Garden”
“They Wait”

I have some clever, creative, and bright blog visitors and, quite truthfully, I need help. Put on your thinking caps and “Caption this!”
Image made in a “secret” garden in Makanda, Illinois. My massage therapist and friend, Jennifer Hunt, told me how to find the “secret” garden. Without her encouragement I would have never ventured through the mysterious* path…..

*OK….I’m stretching the story just a bit. But, I wouldn’t have known to go up the stairs and around the corner to find the garden filled with wierd and interesting objects. Certainly NOT a “Southern Living Garden” 
More to follow…..

After my bath
I try, try, try
to wipe myself
’til I’m dry, dry, dry.
Hands to wipe
and fingers and toes
and two wet legs
and a shiny nose.
Just think how much
less time I’d take
if I were a dog
and could shake, shake, shake.

Surprise, surprise! They all three were laughing at the same time. “Mommy sure is funny, isn’t she!” (Mommy makes a great photographer assistant!)
