June 2020 - Part Two

We had so many submissions for June, that we opted to publish two galleries. Thank you to everyone who submitted images. Your June photos showed an abundance of young life, and broad summer vistas.

In Gallery One, a young wood duck looked before leaping, the first milkweed flowers came into bloom, and frogs failed to practice social distancing.

In Gallery Two, modest sphinx moths tied the knot, a green heron caught a fish, and Hanna Holcomb enjoyed the solstice sunrise over Mount Abraham.
