But, it appears that that I’m going to have to start making these challenges harder. We had numerous submissions this month but only three different answers:

  • Seal fur and/or skin

  • Penguin fur and/or skin

  • Polar bear skin fur and/or skin

You guys are good – so get ready for the first Photo challenge for October!
