Fall brilliance

7 mins read

With fall upon us, Franklin County’s many talented photographers are here to bring readers the best shots of nature and those who live in it. The basis for the Sunday collections goes back to March 2011, when author and photographer Jane Naliboff of Chesterville began sending a few pictures each week. Other photographers have since joined the effort, creating one of the Bulldog’s most widely appreciated features. If you are interested in contributing, please send photos with a caption and your name to thedailybulldog@gmail.com.

Leaves slipping away with each rain fall. Hope we’ll have a few more days. (Jane Knox)

Autumn rain makes nature’s colors glisten. (Jane Knox)
With vastly fluctuating temperatures (between day and night) the air is foggy and water steamy because soon the air will be colder that the water. (Jane Knox)
But even in foggy weather join me for a sit by the water to watch the late fall departure of birds. (Jane Knox)
Everywhere Maine ivy turns red and covers walls and fences. Nothing more beautiful particularly on fences and brick walls. (Jane Knox)
