We are also interested in your shots of the Blue Angels. The Navy squadron will fly over Annapolis three times this week.

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:

Don't forget to mention where you snapped the photo. Tell us who and 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, May 30.

Good luck!

Impressive Nature Photos

Patch readers have submitted some beautiful pictures of nature recently. Here are a few highlights.

David W. Heiser is first up with this shot of a box turtle in his front yard in North Potomac. Heiser said it "went bonkers over a fresh strawberry." He captured the moment with his iPhone 7 on May 16.

Mallory Furry sent us this photo of a fox in her yard in Marriottsville.

"We have 5 kits living under our neighbor's shed and they're so photogenic," Furry told Patch in an email. "Spring is my favorite time of year with all the baby animals."

Elise Handelman rounded out the submissions with this picture named “April showers brought May flowers.” The photo shows irises soaked after a rainfall.
