Caption contest: Bonnie Garcia and the frog

Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia has been one of the more colorful Capitol characters during her six-year stint in the Assembly.

Today, wearing a bright pink cardigan, the Cathedral City Republican took part in the 34th Annual Capitol Frog Jump.

Bee photographer Brian Baer snapped this photo of Garcia as she met her prince-to-be, Sir Hoppington, for the first time.

For those of you new to Capitol Alert's caption contest, here’s how it works:

1. Look at the picture.
2. Write a caption by midnight Thursday.
3. E-mail it in.

When you send in your thoughts to captions@capitolalert.com, feel free to request anonymity. But only those willing to have their real names published can win the grand prize: a $25 gift card to Starbucks.

(Read the official legal rules here.)

By the way, Garcia's Hoppington lost the contest with a total jump of 6 feet 3 inches.

Assemblyman Jim Beaall's Alcohops entry leaped to the victor's circle among lawmakers with a jump of 9 feet and 2 inches.

Happy captioning.
