PHOTO CHALLENGE - WEEK THREE!

This challenge is going to be great!

We are starting to see seals! And the pups we're seeing right now are actually quite large - since they were born last October/November. So I asked the team if they could dig up some photos of newborn pups for this week's challenge. Boy, do we have some good ones!

But before we get to the new PUP PIC'S - you can still vote for the first two challenges:

Week one - 'FLORA FLICKS'. This journal also tells you about the contest.

Week two - '30 MINUTE FLICKS'.

Results

Week one - 'FLORA FLICKS' - Still tied for the lead - is Photo number 103 and 104.

Week two - '30 MINUTE FLICKS' - 203 is currently in the lead. Followed closely - in a tie for second - is 204 and 206

Here are their pictures. Are you up for the challenge?

We are titling this challenge 'PUP PIC'S' - and here are the entries.
