No blast of spring this year.
Spring’s creeping in.
Softly.
Reluctantly.
We’ve been patient.
So now please bring on the sun!

Spring sprouts – elvers and daffodils.

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.

In the spring, this happy sea creature caught a leafy wave.
And in the summer, it looks like it might be swallowed up by the garden.

This is prime time for fall color in Maine.
What makes Maine especially beautiful in the fall is the way the deep green conifers contrast with the blazing hard woods.
So jump in the car and drive around this gorgeous state.
Even those who can’t drive get to enjoy the colors. Lucky Adams School students in Castine get to look at this stunning tree.
And the students at the Drinkwater School in Northport have this background for their playground activities.
