In like a lion, out like a lion. March’s weather in The Kawarthas this year was ferocious at times. Despite the conditions being less than optimal, or at least highly unpredictable, our top photos for March are all stunners, including amazing sunsets and sunrises and reappearing wildlife.

We had a few warmer days that reminded us that, yes, the sun is getting higher in the sky and it won’t be long until spring — even if it felt like it took forever to get here. Our local photographers were also fortunate to have the aurora borealis appearing very close to home in the Kawarthas.

We hope you enjoy our collection of top photos this month. And hurray for spring!

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).
