SoCS Badge Contest

Fandango22 Comments

I’m a regular when it comes to participating in Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, so when she put out the call for a new SoCS badge, I searched my photo library for something I though might be suitable.

I came up with this photo of a family of ducks floating along a stream on Stowe Lake in Golden Gate Park. Per Linda’s instructions, I added the “Stream of Consciousness Saturday” banner and my name and blog address to the photo. Here it is:SoCS Badge EntryAren’t those ducklings the cutest little things?

Anyway, Linda will be posting all submitted badges on her blog on Thursday October 24th, along with a poll that will close the next day, on Friday the 25th. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to Linda’s blog next Thursday and vote for my badge. This blog post will self-destruct in five seconds, Mr. Phelps.

So, easy peasy, right? Thanks for your support and for your vote!

SoCS Badge Contest

Linda G. Hill is the host of the very popular Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Every year she holds a contest for bloggers to submit a new badge design for her weekly prompt. See the details and rules here.

I have decided to give it a shot this year, since I love this intriguing challenge and participate just about every week. And so, here’s my kind of unusual (in that there is no stream involved at all) entry.SoCS Logo 18I took this picture in Golden Gate Park earlier this year and the wispy clouds reminded me of what an airborne stream of consciousness might look like.

I don’t expect my badge to be selected, but you never know, right. As they say, you miss 100% of your shots not taken. Besides, my blogging buddy Jim Adams, at A Unique Title for Me,  entered the contest and I’d never forgive myself if he ran unopposed and won!
