Great topic Wim, and congratulations on winning the last one.

 

Here comes my three:

 

At peace like a resting cat:

(Yes there is a cat in this photograph of the atomic dome in Hiroshima Japan, try to find it...)

 

Even the shadow of a dog will never be as happy as a dog at the beach:

Beauty is in the eye of the cat holder:

Not very good with the old sayings...

But that will do.

In his case, all three at once, but not necessarily in the right order as he appears to be drinking the sea:D

Must be very slight. I can't see it and I can usually spot DM a mile off.

And that's only one day left!

 

Dog or Cat

- a picture with a chat!

 

Your images don't have to be funny, but they do need to have a caption.

Which makes it a bit conceptual: the caption must be a saying or proverb or quote or truism. Which you may invent yourself.

True Gaelic proverb: cho còir ris an fhaoileig (= as kind as the seagull)

Solar Eclipse.  

There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

Good luck, wim, a difficult job.

Difficult? Impossible! 🤦‍♂️ Cuteness overload! - I know I've asked for it. 🤦‍♂️

I have done the longlist totally anonymous. That thinned out when I found out I had chosen multiple images from at least three contributors.

In the mean time here are all the captions once again:

"Sharing is good."   "No."
