I’d almost forgot to enter in this competition as I just couldn’t choose what photo of Sunny best potrays the theme of eyes.
Well I’ve finally made a decision.
One of my favourite photos of Sunny, which I think could be captioned as ;

‘All eyes on me’

Or maybe.. if I look cute enough, will you stoke around my eyes pleaseee?

All eyes on him, indeed! What a striking picture! And that expression is just so playful! Love it!

Just taken this one of Luna in the garden.
She has been watching wild birds, listening to them & even be a little scared by a couple of pigeons
So it was treat time. And she looks so happy in this one that I think this is her official entry this month, not the last one.

This picture is a moment of perfect contentment, flash frozen in time. Beautiful.

There's just something so freaking charming and playful about Kermit's facial expressions. Always draws a big grin out of me!

Thank you for enlarging (Embedding) her photo Stephen. And yes, she does look like she is looking for affirmation (which she actually does) lol:D

You're most welcome! And I'm still cracking up at that pic!

LOL, what happened to the photo of Ellie Stephen? I can't see it. Is it my computer? Sometimes I have difficulty and in a couple of days - kaboom, there it appears! Maybe it's delayed because I live in 'the land down-under' LOL

The pic of Ellie with a caption of "Would you like fries with that?" I can see it, if you are still having problems, let us know!

Beautiful pic! I'd love to see a video - you can replace it as submission or include it as "just for fun." Your choice!

Hi Scott, I still can't see 'would you like fries with that?". So it is my computer? This happens frequently when people post photos - somehow I can't 'view/see' them until days later??? You can PM me if you wish to instruct me without messing up the flow here lol..:)

This is the first photo I ever took of gabby. My neighbor had him in an enclosure that had no toys no shelter and no one to remember that he was there and needs food and water. I picked this photo because he passed away on Christmas 2017 due to a fire at his owner house . And he is already forgotten over there but this photo is framed with some of his feathers in my home as a memory.

This is a gorgeous shot! Downright art. Nice! And I'll second the call for a video! We love those, hereabouts!

Yep, I can still see it as well. Perhaps if you tried switching browsers? I see you've already been addressing this with Scott, so I'll avoid being yet another cook in the kitchen. Lol! But figured I'd throw a quick suggestion out there.
