Holly, the 8-year-old Saint Bernard on today’s cover, is looking for “some bunny to love,” writes Tara Maguire of Central Islip. Holly has been posing for holiday photos since she was about 2 years old, says Maguire, whose tradition includes doing holiday shoots with all three of her dogs.
“She wore her bunny ears proudly as she posed and waited patiently for her doggy treat,” says Maguire, who likes to post the photos on social media and create holiday cards to mail to family and friends.

CLOUD NINE. The dramatic clouds and the wildlife draw the photographer to Fire Island often, and this day in January he felt lucky to catch shorebirds “explode into flight” moments after they’d touched down to probe the sand with their beaks. He sharpened the image with Photoshop.

PARK’S BENCH. This bench, on the Stony Brook Village green, was special to the photographer and her dear, departed dachshund, Park. She says it looked appropriately lonesome on her first visit since Park died.
