HOW TO JOIN THE ANIPAL PHOTO HUNT

The Anipal Photo Hunt is a Blog Hop for anipals only - each week with a new theme. Our mission is to encourage anipals to blog more frequently, get to know one another better, make new friends, increase their followers... and just to have fun!

Note: This instruction page is linked here and on the right side of my blog. They are also on the Discussions Tab at http://www.facebook.com/anipalphotohunt.

Each Sunday, I post our theme for the week and a pic (or a few) related to that theme on my blog at http://www.cokiethecat.com. (cokiethecat.com and cokiethecat.blogspot.com are one and the same)

To join the Anipal Photo Hunt, go to http://wwww/cokiethecat.com to get the week's theme. Scroll down until you see ANIPAL PHOTO HUNT Week #__ (and the theme).

The 1st week's was YOU LOOKIN' AT ME?? Here are 2 examples of photos related to that theme:
