Spring sprouts – elvers and daffodils.

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Snow and daffodils - spring in Maine.

Not so long ago daffodils would have no chance against snow, and now they are becoming the dominant force.

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.

Stewart Estate Tulip Tour, Northeast Harbor, Maine.

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.

First daffodils.

daffodils-yellow-spring

These fluffy daffodils are very common in Maine.

It’s amazing that just a few weeks ago, we were living in an entirely different place, wearing different clothes, doing different things. Having four seasons is like moving every few months.
