I won 1st place in a photo contest

[fishnbanjo]

I entered a photo contest to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of a pipe smokers forum on Facebook and beat out 24 entries to win 1st place which was a custom made pipe by pipe maker Basil Meadows. All I asked for was a Devil Anse shape pipe done in Morta blasted and a Tortoise Shell bit. This is what Basil made for me.

Cool, Basil knows your tastes! Can you post your winning picture?

The theme of the contest was it had to be pipe related so a pipe, pipe tobacco or something pipe related had to be in it. I had given my Weimaraner, Levi, his Advatix II application for the month. Since we don't want it getting on the furniture he wears one of his jackets, Weimaraner's are hams by nature and loved to be dressed up. I placed my MM Country Gentleman next to his paw and captioned it. Here's Levi contemplating my next smoke, he's even worn his smoking jacket in honor of the 1st Anniversary, by Jove I think he's got it, Anniversary Kake, of course.

Levi has a patient and understanding face, though I suppose like most of us he has his agitated moments. Great photo.

Great winning photo and a very nice prize pipe too. Enjoy.

Levi looks to be a great young pup. And very patient with you taking his pic! Have always loved the color of the Weimaraner & the Vizsla.
