All Creatures Great And Small

First, allow me to thank all of you who submitted photos for this post.

Once again, the turnout was faaaaaaaaaaaabulous!

As each email came in, I eagerly anticipated what I would find in the way of all creatures great and small.

And the really cool thing about it is that you each submitted such a wonderful variety of animals, which is what I was hoping for.

You have no idea how much fun I had putting this post together!

Today, I will be sharing the first half of this photo submission, and next week I’ll conclude with the second.

So, without further ado, allow me to present….All Creatures Great And Small.

Lights! Camera! Animals!



Barbara: "My favorite neighborhood cat. (S)he comes in our yard and greets me or my hubby. An absolute doll; a very cuddly and friendly kitty".


Jeanne: "Beemer"


Bijoux: "Woody: Our Backyard Pileated Woodpecker"


Jaffer: "This picture was taken by my brother from the car near Al-Shifa mountain just south of the city of Ta'if in Saudi Arabia. This man was earning his living by giving camel rides to visitors."


Susu: "Love Me Tender"


Valerie: "Maxie the Dog"


Babs: "This is a hedgehog that came wandering into our garden and let me get right up in its face to photograph him."


Herman: "During our last visit to the zoo we spotted this guy. Apparently, elephants like to rub their tusks against hard surfaces, and sometimes this damages them. It happened to this elephant. Veterinarians were forced to perform a pulpotomy, which is like a root canal for elephants, after which they covered the tusks with stainless-steel caps."

Have a picture perfect weekend everyone!
