Every week we highlight another great submission from our annual photo contest

“My favorite time in Emerald Isle is watching baitfish in the waves.” —Lorraine White, Emerald Isle, Carteret-Craven EC
“In our small garden behind our house, a mother rabbit had abandoned her young and miraculously they all survived.” —Bill Whitesides, Lincolnton, Rutherford EMC
“My granddaughter holds one of her dad's new puppies born this summer from a litter of 7. She's a country girl. She loves her puppies, chickens, rabbits and a more. Her mother (my daughter) took the photo.” —James Currin, Spring Lake, South River EMC
“My fur baby Whiskers loves to peer out of the window in my bathroom. I noticed the lighting was hitting him just right and ran to grab my camera. This is one of my favorite pictures of him.”—Danielle Hammond, Hays, Surry-Yadkin EMC
“The sky lights up behind Quail Roost Horse Farm in Rougemont at sunset.” —Kimberly Capalbo, Bahama, Piedmont Electric
“My two golden retrievers head out to watch the sunset in Emerald Isle. Every time I look at it, I'm reminded of the peace and calm of watching the sunset.” —Ashton Allgood, Emerald Isle, Carteret-Craven EC
“Well, it just wouldn’t be NC without snakes! I cut this harmless racer out of some garden netting which can be a death sentence. Luckily, a lot of people find the snakes & give me a call in time!”—Stacy Schenkel, Hillsborough, Piedmont Electric
“The Milky Way spilled across the sky at Doughton Park off of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Alleghany County. It was a perfect moonless night so the stars could shine!”—Leslie Restivo, Vilas, Blue Ridge Mountain EMC #photooftheweek
“While photographing a North Carolina farm, I walked to the fence and curious Dolly greeted me.“ —Glenn DeRosa, Matthews, Union Power Cooperative
“Sunrise at the Scotland County Lake in Laurinburg.”—Glenn Poplin, Maxton, Lumbee River EMC
“I live on 5 acres in Iredell County, tucked down an ol’ dirt road. Sometimes I get to witness this—the sun setting over a 200-year-old oak tree while the cows graze. It's why I live in NC.” —Melanie Salzman, Mooresville, EnergyUnited
Our pet cow Belle was craving attention so my grandson Asher gave her a sweet hug. I think it made his day as much as it made ours! She is a gentle giant. —Cindy Clayton, Richfield, Union Power Cooperative
