November 2022

Your November photos included split milkweed pods and wind-borne seeds, forest plants in fall color, spectacular autumn skies, and the arrival of ice and snow. In Stoddard, New Hampshire, Sue Lichty found some nibbled cranberries, in St. Albans, Vermont, Leif Tillotson took a beautiful shot of flying geese in silhouette, and in Hawley, Massachusetts, Sharon Bombard captured the bright red fall color of pitcher plants. Check out Ken Hatch’s intriguing image of the folded, compressed remains of ancient seafloor, found in a brook not far from Northern Woodlands’ office.

Lyme, NH. “The brook bed in this area looked interesting so I looked for information about it on the lymenh.gov website. This is a quote from that website: ‘Here the water spills over dark rocks split by diagonal fractures. These are the folded, compressed remains of a volcanic seafloor caught 600 million years ago between the colliding continents of ancient North America and Africa.’” | Photo: Ken Hatch
