Ja kuvahan oli tietenkin 5. Oravan päivä
Ihana kerrassaan suloinen orava .
Ja kuva jota äänestän on siis 5.
Minä äänestän kanssa ykköstä! Siinä on osunut moni asia ihan kohdalleen
Orava suloisesti herkuttelee voikukanlehteä ja valo kuvassa on hieno.
Kumpa me ihmisetkin osaisimme riemuita arjen pienistä hetkistä , vålittämätt likaantuneesta turkista.
Kuva 6
Lisäyksenä vielä – kuva 2 vastaa myös parhaiten kilpailun teemaan Elämää naapurustoissa. Siinä on onnistuttu taitavasti poimimaan hetki Kuralan alueen elämästä.
