Nice one, Peter, looking forward to seeing your Brian the snail. It'll be an easy peasy challenge for you, Marjorie, Why make life hard when it can be easy, Robert, a drawing will be more than acceptable, I'm sure. If you need a plant photo for reference, Russell, I'll post one or two, here, for you.

I’m cheating a bit…decided to do a woodmouse - there’s one I watch every evening which scuttles past the window, cute little thing. He/ she lives in our rockery.

If you have trouble resizing pictures Robert a useful free download is IrfanView64. I use it all the time.

A very cute Brian - Peter, you were obviously a fan! My little mouse is still “ in development”….

A couple of years ago our art group monthly theme was 'A Spring walk' and I immediately thought of Zebedee. I painted a picture, really just for a joke, then put it on Redbubble and it's sold more than anything else. Ridiculous!

Irfanview 64 - that, I think, is what I had before my late computer passed to its Reward, and I'd forgotten it.  Thanks, Peter.

A big bold image, Peter and a smashing addition of text. A field mouse will be  lovely, Marjorie. Get cracking :) Here's my snail/s. I did two as the other looked a bit lonely on the page.

Lovely delicate snail that, Carol. I helped one off the beach this morning. My field/wood mouse… pencils and a bit of Unison pastel. My eyes were on stalks when I finished, but I enjoyed it!

Eyes on stalks...shouldn't that be the snails Marjorie?  Great pictures both of you.

A absolute stunner, Marjorie. Lovely and fluffy.  And look after those eyes. Thanks, Peter.
