Time to get your cameras and phones ready!
Yes, @papa-pepper loves a good contest. I also love a chance to inspire and give! Not only that, I love learning about the members in our community, and catching glimpses into their lives and their “worlds.” This contest will be one such opportunity.
Obviously, as a wild-man and gardener, I love animals and plants. I have been really blessed to be able to take a lot of great photos of plants and animals too, which I would not spend much time doing if it was not for the creative outlet that steemit provides.
Just for fun, I starting combining a few of these elements for some photo shoots. The first one was while I was down in Texas, and it features a Gecko in a flower. Here are a few shots.

PEPPER FROG
More recently, I found some little Tree Frogs and put them in one of my gardens for a photo shoot. Here are a few of the results from that.

Actually, a long time ago on steemit I entered a frog in a flower into the Steemit Photo Challenge hosted by @jamtaylor.
YOUR TURN!
Now, it is your turn to show off not only your photography skills, but some of the plants and animals in your area. Since this will be a Plant and Animal Combination Photo Contest, photos must contain at least one animal and at least one plant each. Ideally, these would be close-up photos like the examples that I provided.
HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES:
- Photo entries must be placed in the reply/comment section of this post.
- Submissions may also be made into posts, but it is not necessary.
- A proof photo will also be required. This can be in the form of a selfie with the subjects from the photos or in the form of your username written on a piece of paper in a photo, etc. Basically, you must prove the originality of your work. Therefore, your entry comment should include two photos. Here are some examples.
