Decorative woodsy background

May 2019

Your May photos revealed spring ephemerals in bloom, new fawns, and a squirrel with its very own dog statue feeding perch.  A killdeer’s eggs blended perfectly with rocks by the road, and the Milky Way glowed over Davis White State Forest. Near Lows Lake in Adirondack Park, John Blaser focused in on the beauty of a forest floor, and our youngest known May contributor, Armando Stettner, took some nice macro shots around Vermont’s North Springfield Bog.
