I titled this, “Hey! When is dinner served around here???”
This juvenile Red Fox decided my neighbor’s decrepit old picnic table was a good spot in which to rest.
I have been doing a lot of observations ever since my wildflower patch came into bloom so I have a lot. But I think it’s a toss-up between these two:
Yikes, that’s a lot of submissions. I gotta break this up…

Congrats @susanne-kasimir - You won this week (month, possibly?)’s poll!
How ‘bout you? It’s a tie! 
Oh, cool! - I even forgot about it 
Thank you!
I hope I’m not rushing too much when I already post my submission for this week 
This great green bush cricket (Tettigonia Veridissima) really showed me that my RX10 is pretty good at capturing the smaller critters (if you can call these guys small). Of course I had some luck with the black glossy ground and those water droplets.
The shot inspired me to get more into the whole macro-stuff, so I just ordered a Marumi Achromat (+3) to screw in front of the lens. Hopefully I’ll have some proper macro shots to submit soon!
Really nice photo! Looking forward to more of your submissions. :)
Got an amazing lady posing for me on some purple cone flower this past weekend at a local nature preserve. She was an awesome subject.
Incredible shot! 
best find of the year
This Oakleaf is very common where I live, but this is the first time I got it with the wings open! Other then it being difficult to photograph with the wings open, its also endemic to the Western Ghats! Observation at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/303168923.
