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!

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

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

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?
