Contest 24: Animals and Cacti

Post by CoronaCactus »

Hi all,

It's that time again, pics, pics and more pics!!!

Contest 24 is about animals and cacti in any situation. Indoor, outdoor, day time, night time...

Maybe your little kitty mistook your columnar for a scratching post...or your little pooch mistook your prostrate for a bone...or that pesky groundhog just won't leave your garden alone...if so, we wanna see those pics!!!

Restrictions:
Insects including flys, bees, bugs, butterflies, caterpillars, and related creepy crawlies.

Accepted:
Animals including Birds, reptiles, frogs, cats, dogs, rodents and whatever other furry things that are not insects :D

In the odd event somebody has a pic of a mammal with cacti, that will be accepted.
The only mammal restriction will be us humans ;)

Please refrain from any roadkill or anything not of the living. Both animal and cacti must be alive.

The contest will run for 10 days
Deadline: Tuesday March 25, 2008

Good Luck!!


P.S. The pics for this and any contest must be your own. However, since this topic can have some humor to go along with it, there are probably some great pics from around the internet. If you come accross any of those, please feel free to post them in the discussion thread here so we can all enjoy :D
