Fall here and there

7 mins read

With fall settling in, 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.

Soon there were three. (Jane Naliboff)
Number four came out at last. They all test tasted mulch, leaves, and bits of this and that, returning down the chipmunk hole when they felt insecure. All of this was a first sighting for me, and plenty of cuteness was spread around. According to my research, this litter is most likely from a daughter of the first litter born in June.
