Weekly Challenge: "The Animal Kingdom"

This week we are looking for your photos of animals. The more unusual the photo, the better.

A few simple rules:

1. Themes are posted on Fridays to give you the weekend to come up with a FRESH shot for the challenge to post through Monday.

2. This is about interaction, learning, being challenged and having fun so... HAVE FUN!

3. The themes are specific but interpretations are broad. Stay on theme but PLEASE feel free to think outside the box.

4. Look at others' submissions, comment as moved to do so and offer supportive and constructive feedback. Please don't just post for exposure. Look and at least comment on some.

5. Did we already mention: HAVE FUN!!!

There's always something going on at the West Palm Beach Zoo!

This was taken during the Queenie photo shoot. Very slow shutter speed. Queenie was not happy about the camera and kept moving. I figure it's unusual. No zoos here. Not even any wild animals since it's like 10 degrees. I'm going with it. :)

Our photo club went to "Artisan Works" today. It is a warehouse full of art and objects...This one is stuffed.

Winter this year is very warm and the blackbirds have not migrated south. Every morning I can hear one of them singing loud behind my window
