I really love this photo. I’ve got a bit of backlog to work on uploading from this week, this image included, but once I’m done I think I’ll have finally reached 1,000 observations!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry I didn’t make the end of week poll earlier, I was birding in Point Pelee over the weekend! I don’t know how we should do this, but here is my best first attempt:
Welcome to the weekly photo of the week challenge! This week, we had many amazing entrys, from flowers, to snakes. What a better way to end it off than with a poll for the “BEST PHOTO OF THE WEEK” #1 title! Vote for whichever photo you found your favorite!

- oksanaetal 's Sessile Bellwort
- socroc10 's Snail (Sorry, not sure of the species!)
- macrotim 's Arrangement of macro photos (Blue Oak mite, Common Mouse-ear Chickweed, and Potworm)
- ra_teo 's Mallard

All amazing photos, and I can’t wait to see who will be our first winner! Normal submissions for next week will start tomorrow!
Edit Sorry I couldn’t “@” mention everyone, there is a cap to 10 “@” mentions in a post, which the amount of entry exceeded

A three way tie! Congratulations to @macrotim , @ra_teo , and @stanislav_murashkin ! You are the first three winners of this contest!
Thanks to everyone who contributed, and feel free to make your submissions for this week as well!

It’s not the end of the week for me yet, but I was pretty pleased with the first photo in this observation of some lifer weevils.

I was lucky and managed a bunch of different stacks recently.
Here is a beautifully colored Trochosa sepulchralis that my brother found a few days ago (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/279707235):
I also got some decent photos of a very active (my brother also found) Western Lynx Spider (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/279707231):
And finally, yesterday I found a small Xysticus auctificus (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/279781854):

It says “photos” instead of “photo” so it sounds like it is saying you can show multiple photos

Yes, but that’s less specific than what I quoted earlier.
Anyway, I’m not the thread maker or moderators; I shouldn’t be enforcing the rules.

If multiple people post, there will be multiple photos. When I said “Your” best photos of the week, I was addressing the forum as a whole. No worries though, I guess it can be a bit confusing

I’ll compete with this one if I can only choose one for each week.
