How Can We Not Love Maine! ⋆ The Stuff of Success

We spent an entire afternoon – walking mile after mile of beach and we were the only ones there. We climbed cliffs – and we were the only ones there. We walked streets – and we were the only ones there. This is a regular occurrence. It is very difficult to come back to the real world after this much real beauty. If you follow my blog – you know this is a regular occurrence. Today the sea was a little rougher than usual. Large waves, high winds and a little bit scary at times even.

Carrying their backpacks so they don’t have to leave behind any treasures – rocks, shells, coins, driftwood etc…

Miles of coastline for just us – felt like we were on a deserted island

The surf was loud and crashing today!

Such a gorgeous day – and look how high up we are!

Climbed down the cliffs to get back to some water – and during storms all kinds of treasures wash up on shore

It was extremely windy on top of the cliffs and at times – a little terrifying, especially with children

See how rough the waters are?

More crashing surf

Still walking… We walked miles of sand, cliffs, dirt roads and pavement

The power of the ocean

Yup the waves are still angry

Finishing our excursion and now we need to walk miles back to the car.

Sephora and Anthony are holding hands helping each other finish our daylong hike. They were real troopers!

Being a Vermonter, Maine is a great vacation spot. I love the shoreline of Maine. Thank you for sharing.

We lived in New England for 20 years and Maine is the only state we never visited! Really wish we had, it’s so beautiful!

I haven’t been to Maine near the coast in more years then I want to remember! It is so beautiful and peaceful there-even with the angry ocean!

Stunning photographs and I can say I’d be SO ecstatic to be in this location. I love the water, sand, wind, the sound of the waves. Someday I will make it back to Maine!
