Production of the 2017 Celery Farm calendar has begun. This is an annual fund-raiser for Fyke.
The fantastic photos bring beauty to your home or office all year, and to friends and family who receive this wonderful calendar as a gift from you!
Photos taken at the Celery Farm by Fyke members are being accepted now. There is a limit of 10 photos per person. The high-res images should be landscape format.

Non-cropped photos work best with the software used for the calendar, which is typically in a 10-inch by 12-inch size range.
Please send your photos to carolflana (AT) aol.com by July 15. (An earlier deadline this year.)
Jim adds: (One of my favorite covers is from 2013, above, featuring a photo by Barbara Dilger.

Photographed this little guy on a path in Bear Mountain State Park last month.
I'd like to think he puts the "dude" in Doodletown. Who is he?
