Maine’s coast is mostly rugged and rock bound. The southern coastline is where you can find some beautiful sandy beaches but most of the Midcoast and Downeast you’ll find rocks, cliffs, ledges, jut outs, inlets, all compiling many thousands of miles of coastline.
The tree below, sits in the front yard of a fine Maine Coast cottage near Seal Harbor on Mount Desert Island, only a few feet from the Atlantic Ocean. If this tree could tell us about the many storms it has had to endure, the list would be long. It’s anybody’s guess as to the age of this tree but with the bumps and twists and turns, it has put up with a lot, yet held its ground and stood firm.
