This month I managed to narrow it down to six, then with eyes shut finger-stabbed at the paper three times. Any of my six would be worthy winners. ---

Wow, this is the coolest thing that’s happened to me in I can’t remember when! Thanks, you guys! That was a huntsman, the first I ever saw and hopefully the last. I’ll never pass through that gate again without thinking of it. I took the picture with my phone, in the beam of a green flashlight. I like that flashlight because I can use it without destroying my night vision. November’s theme: A whole lot of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. You fill in the blank! ---

Holy moly, I just got home from traveling and see that I came in second! Y’all are gonna start making me think I’m a half-decent photographer 😂 Congrats Dung Beetle! That photo absolutely gives me the heebie jeebies. ---

ImgBB wasn’t cooperating with me; the upload was fine but the preview and inline image display didn’t work. I wound up going with [postimages.org](http://postimages.org) as a backup. ---

Thought about using this one and calling it “A whole lot of nothing” (taken somewhere in the middle of Australia). [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54895312079_33167f4c7e_b.jpg "DSCF0904") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/66423490@N08/54895312079/) ---
