my first contribution.....

... for animal month. Thanks, Marie, @lichtecht for the idea. If you'd like to know more, see here: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21887/a-for-animal-month-in-april

I note that Marie is in Germany so perhaps I'll make this a month to add to my German vocabulary by learning some more animals' names.

On a personal note Ray said, at breakfast this morning, that 1st April 1969 was the day that changed his life. http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2014-04-01

All I can think to say is: "Well done, Ray!" He's taking me to Marwell Zoo to seek out some real animals later.

@lichtecht

Maybe you can hep me by putting your animal tags in German as well as English?!

[Cathie]

Creative choice for animal month! Thanks for inspiring me to think outside of the box! Nice!

[OBM Creations]

That's a very groovy egg cup and a neat subject for the first day of Animal month. I would have liked to see the focus on the eye of the ram, but a lovely shot nonetheless. Enjoy animal month; I think it's going to be a fun time. :)
