  1. We lost our birds for quite some time but the chickadees and nut hatches are back now

  2. Thank you once again Jane Naliboff with your amusing chipmunk pics and the awesome night sky shot.

  3. Jennifer, your first photo is stunning! Jane Knox, that’s probably the last of that much color we’ll see for some time. Thank you, all.

  4. Wonderful photos in Aroostook Jennifer. I keep coming back to the field with trees all in a row—great.

  5. Thank you Patb. The Christmas Cabbage is still radiant but everything else is gone or brown, sigh.

  6. What a great photo collection! I particularly enjoyed the Elizabeth(Stu)Mehlin photo and Jim Knox’s ice shot of Smalls Falls. And who could resist Jane Naliboff’s chipmunk collection!
    We have wonderful photographers displaying their work in the Daily Bulldog, but even more, they are the story-tellers of our region. Thanks, guys — and thanks to the Daily Bulldog for making my Sunday treat possible!
