Terrific challenge!  Bill and I have two brand-new babies in our family.  My niece and her husband had a little girl on July 12th, and Bill's nephew and his wife had a little boy last week.  We'll most likely see our new great-niece this month, but the great-nephew lives in Ohio.  I'll do my best to get some pics of her, and to also think outside that obvious box a bit.  Thanks, Clive!

Thanks, everybody!  :)  New babies are always welcome.  They don't call me "Auntie" for nothing!  :P

 

Great way to open the challenge, Jay.  I love their attentive straight line.  SO cute!

Here's David, Anna and Tamara. (three of our grandchildren) This lamb is bottle-fed by Anna, because the mother is deceased. The lamb is called Teddy.

Just like Jacomina's lamb, this one is also hand reared, one of two whose mother died soon after they were born two weeks ago.

My first for the "Ag, shame...!" gallery!

Oh, how cute and lovely the entries are.

Especially those giraffe, which is 'crossed' with a zebra. :D

I am way behind.

I did not receive any e-bots of anyone commenting or uploading pictures for the challenge.

Here is my 2 for the week.

My first a new addition to my Aunt's house a thorough bred Jack Russel called Vlekkie.

He is a male dog. A capture captured this morning.

My second a youthfull poppy seed and a stop over for a Orange Ladybug.

Blessed day and week one and all.

God bless.

Meisiekind ( ) posted Wed, 07 August 2013 at 5:12 AM

Christo - Vlekkie is so cute. Those short legged Jack Russells are adorable. My brother has got a female and I swear she must just read and write - she is so intelligent!

The poppy seed is always gorgeous!

Sad to hear that you do not have anything to upload Helle.

Who knows maybe something youthful will come along your way the next couple of weeks.

God bless.

dochtersions ( ) posted Fri, 09 August 2013 at 5:49 AM

So sorry for you, dear Helle.
Here there was a period of heavy rain,
which came after everything was indeed terribly dry.
I thought it was in Denmark also the case.

I'm sure you'll get something small for your eyes this month.
So 'watch your way', my friend!
