We can see the sunrise! This time of year the days are short here in Maine. A rainy or snowy afternoon has the lights on in the house by three thirty or so in the afternoon and sunrise is at around seven AM. The sun rises further to the south every day which puts the sunrise directly in the view from the house and office. Something we cannot see in the summer as it rises out of our view.
November is always a time of reflection for me; the season is for all intents and purposes over and there is a pause before my responsibilities as Executive Director of the Maine Professional 
Guides Association take most of my time. Yesterday I spoke to a Forest Resources class at the University of Maine about what I do and how I got started so very long ago.
The season is definitely winding down now. I guided a grouse hunter on Monday and fished on Tuesday. This morning’s snow really puts a cap on the season end (picture). I will continue to fish mostly for fun for the next few weeks and any warm afternoon is a good chance to work the dogs but pretty much it is over.
