It’s just a click away, well worth it as it’s a cute pic. That shouldn’t put it at a disadvantage. ---

Shouldn’t, but it probably will. And yeah, @Dung_Beetle , chickens are nasty, ornery beasts. They’d probably present real challenges to farmers, if they weren’t also so stupid. ---

The step-cats have been unusually cooperative this month. I had a hard time picking which photo to post, but went with the one with Zeke sleeping on his back, paws up while his brother Ziggy curls up next to him. Zeke frequently sleeps in weird positions, which just cracks me up. (Some folks may notice the shaved spot on Ziggy’s back leg, which was from a recent trip to the vet.) ---

This month, I could only vote for one photo. ---

Huh, I thought there was a clear best, and I was pretty sure about #2, but they both ended up pretty low in the ranking (so far, at least). #3 I vacillated a lot on, and the one I settled on was ahead of the other two, but still not in the top 3. ---

My tastes this month similarly diverge from the voters so far, proving once again that art is subjective 🙂 I will say that I couldn’t open Fear\_Itself’s (the current leader’s) photo for some reason, so I didn’t vote for it (obviously). ---

I think there’ll be a pretty good spread of the voting, given how many excellent entries there were. At least one of my picks is currently up near the top, but that of course could change. ---
