August 2024 Challenge... "Playing"


Recommended Posts

I'd like to see images of playing... playing sports, playing music, playing games and all sorts of fooling around. My examples will be of animals but I hope to see people of all sizes too. Three images per entry and they must be on Alamy. The deadline for entry will be midnight on August 31. Let's have fun...

Two African Lion Cubs playing together, Panthera leo, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Africa

I look forward to seeing your entries..
