Despite a dry summer, September’s photos showcased nature’s resilience and generosity. In Franklin, Vermont, Leif Tillotson captured a heavily laden apple tree. Stephanie Coyne DeGhett of Potsdam, New York, came across a vibrant chicken of the woods mushroom, while in Isle au Haut, Maine, Katherine Fiveash discovered a striped fishing spider guarding her large egg sac.
We’re looking for October 2025 photos that relate to northeastern forests. Readers may submit up to three photos for consideration.
