PHOTO CHALLENGE - WEEK FIVE!

Have you been asking yourself - 'when is she going to do a Photo Challenge about the seals she's been working on?' Well... the time has come. Today's challenge is all about the seal - or at least the Seals Face! And these photos are likely to put a smile in yours!

Again...before we get to the new PIC'S - you can still vote for the first four challenges:

Results

Week one - 'FLORA FLICKS' - Photo number 103 has pulled into the lead.

Week two - '30 MINUTE FLICKS' - 203 is still in the lead.

Week three - 'PUP PIC'S' - 302 has come from behind.

Week four - 'HISTORIC HUTS' - the leaders are 406 and 409. We didn't get too many votes for this challenge - so there is still time to vote!

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

We are titling this challenge 'SEAL FACES' - and here are the entries.
