And a squirrel too. Send us your summer scenes.

Posted by Jennifer Sloat (Editor), August 15, 2011 at 06:30 pm

Local photographer Frank Mercuri has shared his work on wildlife with us. The photos of the bees were taken at Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley and the rest right in Frank's backyard.

Send us your summer scenes, we would love to share them. If you have some photos you would like to share email them to jennifer.sloat@patch.com
