I'm guessing this is from Aimeethetoo or possibly Liberty. Nice biker frog. There must not be helmet laws where you live.

I don't want to cherry pick votes this late in the game, so I am not votin on this entry, but I did want to finish handing out the first set of my new "shoehorn awards", to recognize humor and weird stuff. Enjoy! Show it off to your friends! Print it out and pin it up in your bathroom! Retract in horror at getting such a dumb award!

I love the banding of colors and light in the image. The very abandoned boat is wonderfully framed by the great landscape. Hope this image wins a well deserved ribbon. (9)

Croaker revved the engine.

All his life he'd been told that he could never ride. That he could never live his dream. He was a frog, they'd say. His brain was the size of a pea, they'd say. He belonged in the swamp, they'd say.

Then came that day. That fateful day. He'd wandered from his lily pad in search of a crazy fly that had pestered him, into territory he'd never been in before. He'd gotten lost, and was close to panicking when he'd come across it. It. His Dream.

With a whoop and a cry, he lifted the abandoned cycle out of the dirt. Would it run? Did it work? Before he knew he was holding his breath, he pressed the starter, and it roared to life. His breath returned to him in an echoing croak of joy.

A few hours later, when he roared back home, his legend was born.

Nice scale & DOF. Gives it a really forlorn and insignificant look. 7
