Postcard from Maine
I just got back home after spending a week in Northern Maine. Although the weather was not the best I had a very enjoyable trip. I did a little fishing although the water was high as you can see from this photo.
I believe this is a flooded out loons nest that we came across while fishing.
Those are some of the biggest eggs I’ve ever seen they were huge.
Even though the water was high I did catch some brookies.
As you can see many we got were undersize but the photo does not do justice to the actual coloring of these native brook trout.
I saw a few bear and am excited about the upcoming bear season seeing where I’ll be up for opening week. The digital camera I had with me is not very good so some of these photos are not the best. We spotted this bear walking down a road and we tried to slip up on him. He then turned around and walked towards us and because the wind was in our favor he got within 35 yards before he spotted us. I would guess that he was about 350 lbs and by opening day he should be well over 400 lbs.
Lots of flowers in bloom and these are photos I shot around an old
homestead.
Also some photos from the fields I took some walks in while I was up there.
Maine is a beautiful state with lots of things to see and do.
I saw a couple of moose but they never stuck around long enough for me to get my camera ready. I was also surprised by the number of deer I saw as well. I do have an additional adventure to write about but that will be a future story until then let this photo give you a glimpse at what is to come.
Hey Moose looks like you had a great time despite the high water. Also nice to see those bear too. It isn’t every day you come across those.
