Decorative woodsy background
February 2nd, 2018 Reader Photo Gallery

January 2018

Your photos this month hewed to landscape and ice scenes, reflecting the stillness and extreme cold that began the year. Flooding and freezing along the Androscoggin created an icy high water line, and there were strange marks in the snow: runes written, perhaps, by a nosy deer. Meanwhile, peregrines lurked by a bridge for unwary pigeons and a coyote made dinner plans by the compost pile.

We’re now looking for February 2018 photos that relate to northeastern forests. These could be images of people, plants, wildlife, weather, forest management, wood processing, educational activities, recreation, art, landscapes, or events. To submit your photos, please use the form below. Thank you!

Submission Deadline for the January Gallery: Monday, February 26, 2018
