The white carpet is being rolled out for winter’s arrival.

We’re ready.

The northern winter sun sits decidedly low on the horizon.

And paints long, dark, dramatic, shadows on the snow.

Who says winter lacks excitement?

Every winter storm brings new life to some of Maine’s most appealing creatures.

This very charming species was spotted in Castine after the ‘Route One Blizzard’ of early 2010.


Here they are observed in their native habitat.

The skies in Maine can be very dramatic. This was just a crazy cloud formation. What was going on up there?

But this was a giant storm cloud that moved quickly across the bay, pounding us with a swift douse of heavy rain.

Sunshine wasn’t far behind.
