As we head into month five of a global pandemic and I review the July top photos, I am reminded how pristine our Kawarthas are.
I know that many of our local photographers are naturalists and environmentalists. So I hope they will appreciate that I am reminding everyone this month to “take only photos and leave only footprints”.
Many thanks once again to all of our photographers who allow us to share their photographs and please keep doing what you do.
Do you want to get on our top photographers 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).
To see our daily shares of photos, follow us on Instagram @kawarthanow and check out our feed’s highlight reels for recaps of every month in 2020.
