Photo Hunt - Rocks

This week's Photo Hunt theme is "rocks".

OUCH

That was the sound my head made as I tried to decide which photo to use. And no, comments about rocks in my head are not helpful.

We recently returned from Maine where rocks are EVERYWHERE. I am sure some folks think of nice, sandy beaches. Nope. Rather there are huge tumbles of rocks lining the shores with waves crashing up against them. Beautiful.

This shot is from one of Maine's 'best' lobster shacks (there is a best lobster shack along every 4 miles of the coast) at Cape Elizabeth. You order your food and can eat inside or out on the rocks. INSIDE? I was shocked at the concept. Thank goodness because it was the few times on our trip where eating outside was even a possibility.

We did a lot of hiking on our trip and I was always amazed at how life managed to spring forth on the rocky coast.

Love the leaning pine...so peaceful looking...I can hear the surf.

My rocks are now posted. Won't you try to stop by to view my photos today? Have a great weekend.

Great shots. It always amazes me how life finds a way to establish itself.

Looks like a lovely trip, judging by the cool shots.

Have a great weekend!

That last shot is stunning. A wonderful example of perseverance.

Nice photos of rocks. Loved the comment about a "best" lobster shack every four miles!! I haven't been to Maine in many, many years. Great to see those shots.

i love the third pic best!

[sandi @ the whistlestop cafe]

So it was a rocky vacation?
I would be outside dribbling my buttery lobsta too.

[Eden]

Great photos.

I only found out about the theme after I went through my morning routine of blog checks. So thank you.

[Cindy Ruth]

Nice photos. I didn't know that the Maine coast is so rocky. That's one state I've never been to.

[Marta]

Great photos. Maine looks wonderful - I love the rocky shores. Nice picks for this week's theme. - Have a great weekend.

[Candi]

Great choices,Jerry. Your photos make me long to go to Maine again. I love its rocky coasts, the food, the hikes.:sigh:. The last shot is amazing!

[Gail Hecko]

I think you photo-shopped the tree in there......;)

[JDeQ]

Dear Gail - you assume that i am computrer savy enough to USE photoshop! LOL

LOL @ Sandi - lobster is such a mess. I never like to eat it inside (at least with a whole beast in the shell anyways).

Glad that I could help out Eden.

Cindy - I imagine that parts of it would seem like home to you.

Maine is really beautiful Marta - I like the rugged nature of it. I also like that the spot where we go is low-key and simple - no hoardes of tourists.

Candi - that is how we felt last year when we looked at the pics from our 2007 trip. Happily we were able to do something about it.

Thanks for visiting on photo hunt Saturday y'all!
