Photo Contest
CONTEST CLOSES SOON - THIS PICTURE NEEDS A TITLE!!
There are already some great titles entered. Post yours!!
Kerri took this picture while we were in Las Vegas at the WPPI convention.
This little scraggly tree was being helped out by the shadow of the palm tree behind it. It made us laugh and we had to post it. It reminded us of that picture of the kitty who is looking at itself in the mirror and the reflection is a lion.
That is the thought we had when we saw this so…if you can come up with something along that line or even if it hits you differently we want to hear what you see.
We are posting this as a photo contest – it needs a title!
This contest will run for 30 days, and on May 1st we will pick a winner. Their name will be posted here for all humanity to see so they can come and give you the proper homage for your title.
Winner will also receive their choice of:
1. An 8 x 10 print with their winning title, or
2. A $10.00 Starbuck’s gift card
OK, now for the rules and fine print:
If there are duplicate entries, the first posted counts.
The decision of the judges is final, even if you think we are nuts. (which could well be the case, but you get no say in that…)
Bribery is not allowed, however flattery may work.
CAUTION: May lead to increased heart rate, so do not attempt to operate a camera or other heavy machinery while posting a comment.
Pregnant woman should consult their physician before participating.
We can’t wait to see what your creative minds come up with!!

How about “Alter Ego”.
“Greater in the Light of God”
Let me put on my “creative (insert french word here) cap”
“Waiting And Wishing On Spring”
I dig the shot.
+Taylor+
O how awesome! something that you dont come across too often! =) Greater Potential!
“Things are not always as they appear”
I LOVE IT, ((KERRI))!!! ONE THOUGHT IS “THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM.” OH SORRY, I JUST SAW WHERE SOMEONE PUT A THOUGHT JUST LIKE THAT, LOL!
ALSO, I COULDN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT JONAH AND THE WHALE, HOW GOD GAVE JONAH THE LITTLE VINE/GOURD TO SHIELD HIM FROM THE SUN. THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT, LOL!!
HOW ABOUT “CREATED IN HIS IMAGE”! JUST A SHOT, GIRLFRIEND, LOL!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
LOVE, CHERYL
I have to put this one out there because this is what came to my mind…:He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty”.
OOH I think Angel45 should win this one, that is the best, much better than mine!

The first thing that came to my mind was the movie, Dances with Wolves with the brave warrioress “standing tall with fists” but this pic would be “standing tall with palms”.
WOW ~ all of these are fantastic titles! My favorite is “Greater in the Light of God”. My contribution is “Dream Big”. We always do!
“Califonia Dreamin’ “:sunny:
“IN GOD’S EYES”
That of course fits, because in God’s eyes EVERYTHING is incredibly beautiful!!
So glad you all are back……….Loves to you all!!

My co-worker says “I think I can, I think I can.” or”the little tree that could”
“It was then that I carried you”
I’m lost for a title right now but in story telling a shadow is a metaphor hinting at what is to come or a promise of what to expect in the future.
I thought of 2Cor. 4:16
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.”
Of course it could be I thought of that just because I am “middle-aged”! LOL
A Reflection of HIS Majesty
:heartbeat: And He Shall Be Like A Tree :heartbeat:
Yeah that is a great pic… how ’bout this…
“I Think I Can, I Think I Can”
Peace,
- Joshua
I’m not suggesting a title because I think mommyfish’s “When Trees Dream” is better than anything I can think of!
By the way, I don’t remember if I commented on this photo the first time I saw it (but I don’t want to scroll through all the comments), so I just wanted to say what a fantastic capture this is! It’s so poetic and deep in meaning.
Very cool photo!!

Hi… What a great picture! “Hello, Friend”
“Big Dreams Start Small”
“The Hope of Glory”
Forgot I wanted to add that is is the scripture I got that from:
Col 1:27……27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. NIV
lol…i’m thinking of a certain budweiser commercial…so funny. hmmmm…this is not too creative, but what about “the tree that could”
I thought of another one. Can we enter more than once? If so, how about “I am Weak…but He is Strong”
