Well, what can we say? Spring has sprung and we’re still posting snow pictures on Instagram! Who would have thought that there would be multiple phases of the never-ending winter?

Now that spring is here, what we can promise is that we’ll try to post pictures of melting snow and running creeks and rapids. Luckily, the bright pink sunrises are also returning.

But as I always say, there’s astonishing beauty in the Kawarthas in every season and our top photos from February prove it once again.

Do you want to get on our photographer list? All you need is an Insta account and to tag us using our hashtag #kawarthanow when posting your photo.

We share photos from across our readership area, which is the five-county area surrounding Peterborough which includes Peterborough, Northumberland, City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Hastings (we sneak in the occasional Algonquin Park picture as well, particularly if it’s by a Kawartha photographer).
