Nature: Sunrise, sunset

3 mins read

Warmer weather is finally here and 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 to thedailybulldog@gmail.com.

  9. Jane K, the sun & shadow on the lilacs with the blue water background (not solid sky blue) made a great shot. Terri, great catch with reflection on the river. Wilton must be the warbler mecca of Franklin County. Lucky us!
