If you love Instagram as much as we do, you’ll also love this new monthly feature where we post the nine most popular Kawarthas photos from our Instagram account @kawarthanow.

For the past few years, we’ve been curating and sharing photos from local photographers on Instagram, who generously give us permission to share their images with our followers. We’re aiming to give them more exposure, so please do follow them on Instagram (handles included below).

And follow us too @kawarthanow. Make sure to tag us with #kawarthaNOW to have your Kawarthas area photograph considered.

We share great photos every day, so it’s hard to decide which ones to include! The photos we’ve selected are based on the total views for each photo by our Instagram followers during January.
