Cranberries are often grown in enclosures like this, which are then flooded. The berries then float for harvest.
One bed stands above the other.
This is Mingo’s in Calais, not the only one in eastern Maine.

Turkeys in the wild
Here’s how they look much of the rest of the year around here. And there are a lot of them who surprisingly disappear this time of the year.
Western sunset
Yeah, all sunsets are in the west, but this looks like something out of a cowboy movie finale. Even if it’s in Downeast Maine.
Window in the woods
The bark siding really captures my imagination.
Souvenirs on the wall
Stunning bridge over the Narrows
At the top of Penobscot Bay, this is the principal welcome to Downeast and Acadia. Or for those of us going the other direction, to the rest of America.
You can even go to the top, the equivalent of 40 floors, for a spectacular panorama.
Superb sea chantey singer
As you can see, Stephen Sanfilippo is more than a maritime historian. He can sing his research findings. Small concerts like this one upstairs at the Pembroke public library are one of the delights of living Way Downeast.
Morang Cove
Cobscook Shore’s 15 well-maintained reserves around the bay offer the public prime opportunities for hiking, picnicking, fishing, and water access for kayaks and canoes. This is a personal favorite.
Ornamental wild apples
The trees are found everywhere around here. As are the deer that eat all the fruit they can reach.
