OK, so it’s actually been almost 27 months since our first caption contestprevious. The photograph this time is not part of our regular collection, nor will it ever be, most likely. Nancy took this picture on our trip with Natural Habitat Adventures to Uganda and Rwanda in 2015 to photograph Mountain Gorillasdetails. As you can see, we found some. We are just starting to process those pictures now.
Nancy took this shot at Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. We were told that we weren’t supposed to get within seven meters (23 feet) of a gorilla on this hike. Unlike the other three gentlemen, I’m as far off the trail (which goes off to your left) as I can get, and I’m wishing I had a wider lens. The other three managed to get out of the silverback’s way just after this photo was taken, and we all lived happily ever after.
Contest Rules
The winner of this contest will get ten dollars off any print or service of Bee Happy Graphics. Here’s how the competition will work:
- For at least the next three weeks, you can enter your caption idea into the comments of this article below.
- I will announce the close of the competition and the beginning of the voting process in another comment to this blog post. I may have a plug-in for that by then and will explain the voting process in that same comment.
- At least two weeks after that last announcement, we will announce a winner. If any entry has three or more votes, the winner will be the one with the most votes. If no entry has that many votes, I will take an informal survey among my closest family and friends and pick the winner. The decision of the judges (as defined above) is final. This prize may be combined with other promotions.
Good luck, and let the contest begin!
Don't get discouraged; it may take over 24 hours for your comments to appear.
