From the winter that will not end, we bring you the month of love — February.
As the days grow longer in February, I always appreciate how the sun changes too. It’s a bit higher, a bit brighter. and a bit warmer.
While February tends to not have a lot of redeeming qualities, our selection of top photos this month are stunning. We hope you enjoy them.
A special thank you to Rachelle Richard for her snowy peace sign — it was a welcome addition in a challenging end to the month.
