January 2021

Your January photos included beautiful landscape and sky scenes, birds in snow, and people (plus Dahlia the Corgi) outside enjoying winter recreation. Lonnie Jandreau encountered a snowy-snooted fox, and Katherine Fiveash enjoyed an overhead view of fox tracks coming and going from a den. Nevada Bromley translated a burl’s encouraging message for the New Year. Janice Tassinari’s image of furry poison ivy vines revealed an unexpected downside to tree hugging.
