Our top August photos include many of my favourite things about the Kawarthas. I could not have hand picked a better selection to represent a perfect August.
At a time when we need stress relief and the outdoors, our local photographers have delivered. And what a Kawarthas selection this is: the call of the loon and two chicks, an iconic Stony Lake dock, a stunning great blue heron in flight, a stand-up paddler at sunset, Kawartha clouds, the Perseids and clear starry nights, and two perfect sunsets.
Thanks to all of our photographers for tagging us #kawarthanow and generously allowing us to share their work.

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 Kawarthas photographer).
