Winter buddies. (Jane Knox/Rangeley)Himalayan mountain panorama found in the detail of a snow pile at New Sharon town hall. (Elizabeth (Stu) Mehlin/New Sharon)He’s the shy one but always sticks out like a red flag. A northern red cardinal in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)One that’s less shy is the female red cardinal. She even came up very close to see what I was doing in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton)A take down by a sharp-shinned hawk. This blue jay was sitting in a fir tree when this hawk took him down. Sharp-shinned hawks make very swift attacks. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Once the sharp-shinned hawk had the blue jay down, he covered and pinned the jay to the snow in Wilton. It’s the not-so-pretty side of nature. (Jim Knox/Wilton)Icy snow glistening under the rising sun this morning. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Warm temperatures and goldfinches almost fooled us into thinking spring might be close. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville).Whoa, that’s one big dude. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)The moon was rising under the stars in front of me, while the sun was setting behind me. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Icicle, drop by drop. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Winter trees after the big one, before the thaw. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Young Mr. Tom is right in style with his new beard. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Leave it to a Maine child to know just what to do when all that snow is covered with a thick crust. Throw it! (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)The Orion constellation was calling to be photographed when a jet photobombed my shot. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)Someone wasn’t expecting an up and down, wet and dry, January thaw on Minnehonk Lake. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)On the coldest night of winter, when the sky is crispy clear, millions of stars look like snowflakes. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville)
Wow, Jim! Right place, right time, right equipment.
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures this week
Beautiful night shots!
Incredible timing — catching the hawk downing the jay — dramatic photos. Incredible.
Love the sharp-shinned hawk series, that must have been something to see! Thanks for sharing.
awesome photos, love the starry nights, Thanks to all who contribute..
I like the night sky photos- the sunset shot especially. It takes skill (and a great camera) to get the quality and color of light at night.
Jane has incredible talent with a camera. I enjoy her photographs year-round!
Jane Naliboff, your photos are absolutely magical!
