Here, we’re looking at a layered scene along Flye Point Road on February 23. In the background, a storm is about to break its huddle over Acadia National Park. In the center, we get a peek of Blue Hill Bay (on the left) below a ridge of trees. We also see piles of rocks that remain from clearing and planting the wild (low-bush) blueberry field in the foreground. The winter wine color of blueberry plants is at its best when emerging from snow.
By the way, Maine reportedly is the largest producer in the world of those low-bush blueberries that are marketed as “wild.” But, these sweetest of all blueberries are commercially cultivated and harvested; in fact, they’re often pollinated by hard-working rented bees from mobile hives.
