Tulips

Ok so its time for a new challenge over on the 'Sheepski' Facebook page. Where for the next month our theme as always is ATG, but with the added twist of...

FAVOURITE SEASON

ok so this one was really difficult for me as I love to see the weather changing all year round & the leaves, plants, flowers & animals all doing their thing at different times of the year! But I do love Spring, it means new life both fauna, birds & animals. So after much thought & decided on Spring! Favourite season could also mean, Christmas, Thanks Giving, Halloween it depends on how you look at the theme!!
