Share Your Best Pictures With Patch For Chance To Be In Photo Gallery

MARYLAND — Calling all Maryland photographers! Do you have a nice shot that you want the world to see? Patch is looking for the top photos from around the state to include in our weekly gallery.

To participate, email your best picture to maryland@patch.com with the subject line "Photo Of The Week." Participants must also include this statement in their email:

"I, [insert full name], took this picture, and I give Patch permission to publish it."

Don't forget to mention where you snapped the photo and tell us what's in the picture.

Please only submit photos that you took personally. Horizontal pictures are preferred.

Photos are due every Thursday at noon. We will post a story with a few of our favorites each Monday morning. The next gallery will go out on Monday, April 25.

Good luck!

Sneaky Squirrel

Rick Hall took this picture of a sneaky squirrel a few weeks ago when his cats started getting excited at the side door.

"When I looked out this squirrel checked me out, then ran up the bricks of the chimney," Hall told Patch in an email. "He gave this second look, then darted off."

Spring Fever

Constance L Lightfoot enjoys photographing colorful flowers. Lightfoot snapped this shot of a blue bell flower while walking through her neighborhood in Howard County.
