That same force of nature is sprouting elver nets on Maine’s freshwater rivers. This one’s on the Goose River that flows into Rockport Harbor.
If you want to know more about elvers in Maine, here are some previous posts — here, here and here.

Tomorrow May 1, and next Saturday, May 8, The W.P. Stewart Estate, Waters Edge, will be hosting their fantastic annual Spring Bulb Tour in Northeast Harbor on Mt. Desert Island.
They plant over 45,000 bulbs in a truly spectacular setting, right on Somes Sound. And the proceeds all go to a good charity.

This was last year. This was the year before.
You really don’t want to miss it!
