I know I’m not first to tell you the great news that Beth of Wandering Dawgs has joined the Lens Artists Challenge team. She’s been a long-time participant and has done a lot of travelling. I’m sure she will be giving us exciting challenges. In other not so great news, Patti will be on hiatus until November. She broke both her wrists and has a difficult time typing or holding a camera. We wish her a speedy recovery.

In this week’s challenge, Tina wants our immediate reaction to a picture we are about to take, or it can be the first thing we think about a photo from our archives. She’d like us to concentrate on humor–yes we can all use some of that these days. So here’s my attempt.

Orangutans at the zoo are so entertaining. I’m sure they think we are too!

Now where did I put that banana?

A lion’s yawn can seem awfully menacing.

Why did you wake me up?? You know I get cranky!

Birds offer a different type of humor.

This pool isn’t heated!
This is the reason I wear a cap!

Someone left a hat behind.

Now where did I put my head??

And what does the bull say to the cowboy at the rodeo?

If I told you once, I’ve told you twice. GET OFF MY BACK!!!

We do need humor these days. Thanks Tina! I’m looking forward to see more from all of you. When you post your pictures, be sure to link back to Tina’s original post and use the Lens-Artists tag. Last week we found peace with Egidio’s challenge on Serenity. I’m presenting the challenge next week so who knows what will happen! In the meantime, stay healthy and live in gratitude.

  8. Lovely! Heated pool – hah 😂. It’s funny that just yesterday, I came across an article about an orangutan in Kansas city zoo who paints, and then I see an orangutan in your post!

  18. Great examples, but the bull and rodeo rider caption certainly made me smile.

    I think we all need a little humour these days, especially folk in the U.S. I cringe when I read your news on YouTube.

    1. Thanks Vicki! Yes, we in the U.S. need humor to take us away from the headlines. Every day I’m afraid to hear what our anti-president has done. I’m 81 and this is not my America.
