Emerald River Maine

There’s something about a wandering river that begs for our attention. Whether in the mountains, or within a city, where the canals bring the roaming waters near to our sight; we watch and drift along with the currents until our imaginations find the openness of the ocean. We become lost with a cup of coffee, while sitting in our favorite coffee shop, viewing a stream just outside an open window. We feel the peace and comfort that the gurgling movements bring to us. This is our adventure, as much as it is nature’s. It’s the wellness, and the strength of community in our neighbors which we wish to lift up. We see your beauty and we want to enhance that beauty. Our journey begins now.
