    August project....animals
    I think about project titles all month and its still a last second decision...usually with not much of a crative insight but all you great people are so great being creative with any subject so this month we get ANIMALS.
    That way the nature and wildlife people can get into it as well as the pet owners, and farmers or anyone that sees any kind of animal whether it walks, swims, flys, or crawls.

    Happy Shooting!

    No, this cat was at a B&B we stayed at. I was walking around taking pictures and it followed me for a 1/2 hour and then tried to get in my car.

    Our little princess (that's what the neighbour calls her) Tess having my breakfast left-overs.
    No she's not spoilt, she thinks it is her right ... and the pillow is hers too.

    I think I've posted this one before, but I like it, so here ya go. Not really a great picture, I was checking out a lens that turned out to be..... unsatisfactory. (Tamron 200-500.)

    When I first posted it on FB I captioned it "My dog wandering in a field." Thing is, it wasn't a field, it was my back yard in late February. Not being a native Floridian, I sort of refuse to do yard work before March.....

    He is a papillon, his name is "Gizmo."

    My good buddy Lucious...He is the nicest...american staffordshire terrier...ALL puppy at heart, wonderful around kids.

    BUT there is another side to this breed...a very serious side...when provoked or threatened.
    He's bad-2-the-bone.

    Ooh, the frog decoration above reminded me of a frog I caught some time back. This little guy is less than a half an inch!

    I'll stick a reptile in here, too, a Green Anole. I've posted this one before, somewhere in the Nature board.

    I hoped for a lot variety this month and we are sure getting it.
    Good job all!

    Not the best shot and it's not my dog, but it's still an animal :)

    I have a feeling it can out-run quite a few of us.

    One of the cats next door.

    Can somebody tell if it's an old cat? Somebody (not the owner) said so but I can't tell.
