October 12th, 2018 Reader Photo Gallery

September 2018

Your September photos revealed an abundance of fungus, from a toothy mane to a family-sized toadstool to a mushroom with Marilyn Monroe aspirations. Children fished, a fawn snoozed, and beach rose glowed after a coastal storm. Spined micrathena looks scary up close – be thankful you’re not a fly.

We’re now looking for October 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 at the bottom of this page. Thank you!

Submission deadline for next gallery: Wednesday, October 31, 2018
