Great idea for a POTM Contest!

That said, it maybe a good idea not to advertise the location of your photo shoot until after the fun and food is completed as some uninvited guest may arrive looking to pare take.

Looking forward to photos of your gathering!

So far... a chile picnic, a millet picnic, and a cherry picnic!
July is off to a great veggie/grain/fruit start!

Chile, millet, cherry and now an apple into the mix! Funnily enough, this picture of Boomer was taken during an actual picnic. I love how he relishes the bite :D

Great topic and awesome photos from everyone. Looking forward to more.

PS. GalleriaGila, those are a ton of chiles! RickeyBird looks like he's in heaven.

Quite the vise-grip she has on that cherry! Making sure you don't get any ill-conceived ideas about making her share. Lol!

Sun conures representing hard this month with a one-two combo! I LOVE this pic and the absolute ecstasy in his half-closed eyes as he eats the apple!

Check out that spread! Bumble must be in Heaven! And there's a definite artistic flair to the food placement, like you might find in the higher end restaurants. Y'all keep it fancy over at Chez Inger, eh?
