Wrapping up Animal Month

April 30th, 2014
Because today is the last day of April, I'd first like to thank all of you who participated in the Animal-Month challenge. Though there were no prizes to win, I was amazed by the loads of people who entered in and the wonderful results you came up with, even though not all of you (myself included) made a whole month of animal pictures or took new pictures every day. That's okay, as I've said. I myself have been posting pictures from 2013 or even 2012 with this challenge, so I'm not going to judge.
This topic here is for you to show of your favorite picture from the challenge this month.
The participants were:

@onetrackmind @sioux @bellasmom @alfielibby @snaphappi @quietpurplehaze @khirsch @shawnasays @johenn @joeyc @marilyn @dibzgreasley @3rdxoff @chief @livealittle @lisabell @lucypics @mzzhope @mrsbaldy @teresaf @obmcreations @kiwinanna @aprilmilani @appsie @justaspark @ridley @laetitiapetrussa @ceilidh @barneyone @lynnilou @gabis @fortong @chief @idbelucky @lindsaydaisyboo @zoeva @photohoot @salza @gnome @whatsfordessert @skjgraphics @flyinggetsmehigh

If I forgot someone, feel free to post your pictures here also. I don't know if someone took place in this challenge without replying to the first discussion thread, were I got all the participants listed above from.

Thank you again for taking part in this. This was my first challenge and I never expected such a great response. Thank you!

@lichtecht Marie, it was a wonderful topic to do, who doesn't love animals! Thanks for posting it!

@lichtecht

Marie, when you say show off fav pic I think you do mean our own pics - or somebody else's?
Thanks for this challenge - it's been really good!
April 30th, 2014
@quietpurplehaze Yes, I meant for you to show off one (or more) of your own favourite pics. But if you want to, you can show pictures from others you like.

I was one that didn't get a shot every day but this month has been hard, we're still getting snow so not a lot for birds and really getting out and driving around. I did get some though, it was fun :)

@lichtecht

Marie - don't laugh but I didn't want to show off when I shouldn't be showing off!!!

Has to be this one. But it was a close call between giraffes and penguins.
April 30th, 2014
Just realised it could be one or more so here is my 'more' - a penguin guarding her invisible eggs and chicks.

oh I missed this one - and I love animals and actually posted a few - next time
April 30th, 2014
Darn! I missed this one as well. Animals are just so wonderful to photograph!

@annied @not_left_handed Maybe there will be an Animal-August, who knows...?
April 30th, 2014
I love this one - wild bird on my palm



Thanks for hosting this great challenge!
April 30th, 2014
Thank you for hosting - there have been many great animal shots as a result. I didn't manage an animal a day but of the ones I took, this is probably my favorite: Marty had been for a swim in the ducks pond and was sitting in the sun drying off while I waited for the ducks to return.
OOoops - I can't find the tag to share my photo anymore ….help? Thanks, Marie.

@lichtecht Thanks, Marie.

@lichtecht This was so much fun,Marie. I admit it did help that I have 6 pets! Zoe got sick of me sticking the camera in her face......
April 30th, 2014
I "tagged" a few, this one was the most popular:

@mzzhope Ahaha that's a great shot, Hope! And before I admire all of your wonderful pics and don't post some myself, here a my three favourites:

I have plenty of subject matter with 3 cats, a kitten, 2 hens and a rabbit. However it is our new kitten that stole the show this month to capture all those precious "firsts" in Callie's life.

Though I always love my pics of Maggie, I chose this one for my favorite animal pic (out of only 4 that I posted) because I liked my humor... and because it is the most common pet in my house!

@neatz I love this one! The subtle colors all overlapping one another sets it apart for me! Also, I adore greyhounds!
