Caption: “The secret of my wonderful skin tone? I swim in coconut oil.”
A seal is in a pool. You can tell it is a man-made pool because of its blue bottom, devoid of any rocks or fish or anything. The seal is peeking its head just a touch out of the water. Its eyes are closed in the face of the sun. It might be sunbathing, as the caption suggests, or it might just be bored of being in...

Caption: “A little help? Anybody?”
This is the first entry that I can remember that lists an important date - in this case, MLK Day. So far, they aren’t deciding to riff on the holidays with their selections, unless there’s some allegorical significance that I’m missing. Today, a fluffy white dog sits in a swing seat for young children, the kind that comes across...

Caption: “Always carry a spare hedgehog. You might need to brush your hair or something.”
A hedgehog is sleeping in what looks like a coat pocket. In keeping with the “cute” theme of my page-a-day calendar, it appears to be a baby hedgehog. It’s tiny hedgehog are closed, but not squeezed shut, like he might awake if someone wearing the coat broke into a run. The...

Caption: “What is thy bidding … my irresistible, sugar-frosted master?”
The picture shows a puppy, not young but not yet aware of its mortality. Its head is up on the counter, where it shouldn’t be, and its eyes are very wide and a little desperate. Half an inch from its nose is a cupcake, the details of which were erased by the flash of the camera. The puppy (I’m...
