Late summer details

5 mins read

With fall approaching, 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.

  1. Those animals etc. are pretty good at posing for a picture, look at those claws on that turtle! Another great collection of pictures everyone. Thanks.

  2. As always, the photos are amazing. Jim Knox, your picture of the little green frog speaks to your wonderful eye. Thank you for showing us what you see. Thank you all.

  6. I so enjoy the photography each week. As a result of the wildlife photos of Parker Pond we went kayaking
    there with friends today. It was amazing. We saw more wildlife here than we had all summer on other ponds. We saw an Osprey, loons, cormorants, terns, gulls, a bald eagle and a very friendly beaver! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful photos.
