Features/Outdoors Snow, rain, snow, thaw: The cold returns by Administrator January 15, 2017January 16, 2017 3 mins read Winter buddies. (Jane Knox/Rangeley) Himalayan mountain panorama found in the detail of a snow pile at New Sharon town hall. (Elizabeth (Stu) Mehlin/New Sharon) He’s the shy one but always sticks out like a red flag. A northern red cardinal in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton) One that’s less shy is the female red cardinal. She even came up very close to see what I was doing in Wilton. (Jim Knox/Wilton) A take down by a sharp-shinned hawk. This blue jay was sitting in a fir tree when this hawk took him down. Sharp-shinned hawks make very swift attacks. (Jim Knox/Wilton) Once the sharp-shinned hawk had the blue jay down, he covered and pinned the jay to the snow in Wilton. It’s the not-so-pretty side of nature. (Jim Knox/Wilton) Icy snow glistening under the rising sun this morning. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Warm temperatures and goldfinches almost fooled us into thinking spring might be close. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville). Whoa, that’s one big dude. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) The moon was rising under the stars in front of me, while the sun was setting behind me. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Icicle, drop by drop. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Winter trees after the big one, before the thaw. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Young Mr. Tom is right in style with his new beard. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Leave it to a Maine child to know just what to do when all that snow is covered with a thick crust. Throw it! (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) The Orion constellation was calling to be photographed when a jet photobombed my shot. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) Someone wasn’t expecting an up and down, wet and dry, January thaw on Minnehonk Lake. (Jane Naliboff/Chesterville) On the coldest night of winter, when the sky is crispy clear, millions of stars look like snowflakes.
