Spring Harvest

It was a cold raw homecoming to Maine and there were many errands to do after nearly a month away. While we were in Ellsworth, Peter and I took a moment to sit in the car with one of Rooster Brother's rich fragrant cups of coffee. Rain, sleet and an occasional flake of snow spattered on the windscreen. Beyond, the Union River flowed briskly.




This is the time of year glass eels are harvested, always a sign of spring. In the blink of an eye, a pickup truck arrived and the orange jacketed fisherman hauled in his daily catch. I just managed to capture the image! More information on glass eel and elver fishery here.
