CAP Zoo Photo Challenge

 With our CAP trip to Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, MA on October 2nd, we thought it would be fitting to have our photo challenge of a few things at the zoo. For those that couldn’t make the trip, we will also allow photos taken at Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport.   

The photos should have been taken between September 15 and October 31. The deadline for submitting photos is October 31. 

The photos should be sized 1400 max pixels horizontal and 1050 pixels vertical. They should be named as follows: Fname Lname-xx, Example: Jim Dionne-01. You may submit up to 4 photos to me at jimski42@gmail.com as an attachment.

I will put them in a show and upload them to YouTube. 

Thanks, Jim Dionne
