Continue with your own work or start our first theme of Zoo. This theme is open to your interpretation. Any animal you would expect to find in a zoo is fair game. When the group visited Blackpool Zoo last year there were plenty of squirrels, magpies and other native species running about so you are spoilt for choice! When searching for reference material do remember we have copyright free images taken during our zoo visit that members kindly donated to download and use. [CLICK HERE] to access the images. The reveal for this theme is 5th March.
