The 2012 Lenscratch ANIMALS Exhibition

Needless to say, we all love our animals, and this exhibition is evidence of what they mean to our lives. Thank you to all who have submitted to this call--you've given us insightful and delicious images to enjoy. Don't forget about the Mother's Day and Father's Day call for submissions...a great way to celebrate those in your life who have meaning -- old family photos are fine too!
