Thanks Frank!

I am really excited about this month's challenge! BorisB has uploaded a wonderfully amusing image today in his gallery of a lamb standing on top of his mother! I hope he will post it here!

I think in today's life we can all do with a laugh!

I'm guessing that animals will play a big part in this challenge. I got this one this weekend and had thought of posting it to my gallery...but this seems like a great place to put it! This is what I see when I try to sweep under my gazebo...or any place else. Our sweet puppy loves chasing the broom.

Oh PJ - full marks for this one!
You won't believe it, but I was thinking of your puppy when I made the collage for the challenge - and there he comes through!!!
I agree - animals will play a huge part in the challenge!

Great one!!!

Too funny! Don't know which I feel sorrier for, the kitty's tail being pulled, or the dog's mouth which has got to be pretty hairy now...

Gilda tried this when MissFITS was a few months old but it didn't work out so good for her... She's been able to wear a hoop earring in her left ear ever since. :-) Cute shot for sure.

I hope its not cheating but I was doing a photo shoot with two of my more reliable models today... we were simulating that "Island" feeling. They weren't really getting into it as you can see. The red-head, Miss Gilda, seemed to pray alot to some unseen god, and Jessie with the white streaks in her hair was totally mortified.

So much for that "Island" atmosphere... LOL

I put them together because they seemed to be of one mind...and it certainly wasn't my mind they were melding with!

LOL PJ, love that (if there is a god for dogs) shot! Too funny. They do hate being dressed up.

Ocoee53, just what was that dog whispering into her ear to make her laugh so??? I agree with PJ, it does make you want to laugh right along with the photo.

PJ - LMAO... Your models do seem petrified.... I must admit - Gilda do look stunning in her island style skirt!!!

Charles - that is an awesome shot!!! He was either licking her ear or whispering something dang funny to her!!! Well done!

OK, I'm in the cemetery concentrating on getting some shots for a weekly competition (for another site) and I look over and here is my son and his fiancee so very irreverently picking and eating mulberries from one of the ornamental trees....

I just shook my head as I grinned and snapped a shot of the mulberry munchers .

Nice to hear you had a laugh thanks to my pics
If you want other pictures, not shot by me
give me your e mail adress and I hope you will forget your hard day and continue to laugh.

My name is Marc.... Marcos is my greek name (father greek lived in South Africa
during World War from 1943 to 1945, mother french)
I of course love Greece.
Never been to South Africa but spend 1 month in Kenya in 1980.
Never will forget Kenya, my pictures made with Vue in my gallery speek by themselves and are a mix of my imagination and souvenirs I have from this country and the special feeling of African atmosphere and the beauty of wild nature.
When your a European...you may know what I mean ?

Have a good day and thanks again for letting me know about the forum.

Regards

MARC
