I’m going to build one and call it Motel 6 Legs. mmm ---

We need to build one too. We’ve had carpenter bees making holes in places we’d rather they not - this might help alleviate that. I do love watching the male carpenter bees guarding their nests, though. I had one bounce himself off my head the other day - they fear nothing! ---

When I saw this month’s competition, I immediately thought of this photo: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53599458187_f47dc48aaf_z.jpg "What") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/194984876@N07/53599458187/in/dateposted-public/) I can’t enter it because I didn’t take the pic. But it makes me laugh every time I see it. Can you guess what it is? ---

LOL, me, too, and when I was guessing, I made the same guess as you. But no. 😉 ---

Another good guess, but no. My friend and I were one-upping each other about which of us was the worse housekeeper. She snapped the photo after she and her husband had carefully lifted a lacy tablecloth off a little-used dining table to clean the table surface. It’s dust. I conceded she had won our little competition! ---

I can’t see @Twoflower 's photo, even when I click through. 🙁 ---

Damn. Again?!? I know I’m not the only one using Google Photos. I hate how Google insists on sharing a link to an entire album, instead of a single photo. But I guess I’ll try that, since a have an album that’s just for SDMB posts. I’ll repost in the other thread if this works.

I can see this one. Cactus, right? ---

You should be able to go to an individual photo in Google Photos and just share a link to it. ---

You’d think so, right? Exactly what I did this time, and it’s not working reliably. At least **Karen\_Lingel** can see it now. Anyone else having trouble seeing it? ---

I could not see it before, now I can see it here and if I click on the picture, I can see it in a Google Album, but the second picture is bigger (and, of course, much better). ---

I was debating between two pics that I had. Then detoured into taking some pics ~~late last night~~ early this morning _::yawn::_ 🥱 one of which I will probably put in. Just need to figure out which one of the 20 variants I like the most. Now I need to narrow those 20 down to one & then the three down to one. 🤬 ---
