Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is Animals. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


Show us some Animals! They can be wild, they can be pets, they can be in the zoo or next door or in your own home.. Just show us some Animals.

Here are the rules:
1. Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives.

2. Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you).
3. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
4. Post your shots at any time during the week.
5. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e. embedding them) but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!

Yes, it is an animal
We are accepting all animals (even insects, bugs, fish etc. ... ) everything except humans (... and I know humans are animals :rolleyes: )


Nice reflection, BTW

Seeing a lot of these little "land shrimp / land prawns" as I do some yard work this week. Common, benign and very interesting critters (= isopod crustaceans). Even a tad marsupial.

Question: which of the dozens of names do you call them by in your part of the world? Sow bugs, woodlice, chiggy pigs, piggy wigs, monkey-peas, roly polys? We usually call them "carpenters" hereabouts - because of their love of old wood, I presume.

At home we called them waterbugs, but I'm not sure that was among the widely understood names for them. I learned later that "sowbugs" is common. I think of them now as isopods. "Roly poly" may be more a British term.

One unusual thing about sowbugs: They molt by shedding half of their shell at a time. The split goes down the middle. I'll find in the garden a left half of a discarded exoskeleton or a right half.

Didn't know about the middle split. I may have seen the halves but figured they were the result of my boots.

mum (left), dad and junior behind
Bennetts Wallabies at our place
They seem to do a lot of fighting or is it male female interaction :rolleyes:
You can see a very recent severe cut on the male - left side of neck
Both and two others hanging about have huge bald patches of skin, some with lacerations from their sharp claws
