for everyone
Welcome to Picture Perfect!
 

This is week 8 of our Competition

and you have three days to submit a picture, after which the Top Ten Pictures will be selected by our panel of admins and posted up in a poll on Saturday morning (PST). The poll will run for 24hours (as requested by the public!) and the winner will be announced on Sunday morning!

The rules:

~ Each week a theme will be posted up on Wednesday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be

only ONE  picture please and it should be YOURS

 not off the internet, not a friends picture but your very own

No slide shows please, and no automatic music on the page

Then come back and post a comment on the Picture Perfect  page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.


By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway!

Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

Good Luck, and have fun out there!!

..ooOoo..

As kids, we used to play a game, particularly on road trips
"I spy with my little eye, something beginning with..." and you'd mention a letter of the alphabet.

"I spy" basically means to be looking out for something, usually secretively. The word 'spy' is used simply because it rhymes, so to make it easier to understand...
"I see with my eye, something beginning with..."

This week, we are playing this game. I give you a letter and you give me the word. To make it more interesting, you can give me the word (and matching photo) in any language on condition you tell us what the word means : )

So... the letter is...
"P"

This week, *you* choose the theme!
The word must start with a 'p'

pachy·derm \ˈpa-ki-ˌdərm\ noun

French pachyderme, from Greek pachydermos thick-skinned, from pachysderma skin;
thick +
: any of various nonruminant mammals (as an elephant, a rhinoceros, or a hippopotamus) of a former group (Pachydermata) that have hooves or nails resembling hooves and usually thick skin; especially : elephant

mags...it was taken at the Swope Park Zoo in Kansas City. A number of years ago this zoo was on the list of the worst zoos in America but it was redone and now is very nice.

A Pachy in a Puddle! LOL Great PP! I love Elephants, did you know that an Elephant has some of the exact same neurons that we do? They are working on proving that they are as intelligent as us. Very nice!
