The Coastal Northeast. It's beautiful here, sometimes. It can also be brutal. We are lucky to live so close to the ocean as we get a lot less snow than those of you who live further in. But, when the wind picks up, it really whips here. It's biting and unrelenting. Today is such a day. The trees haven't had a break all day - moaning and groaning, crackling and howling. It's one of those days when you open your car door a crack and the wind grabs it and flings it open so hard you're sure it's going to blast right off the car.
However, these are the days for a ride to the sea. This is when she shows us what she's really made of. The sun shines on the waves so they glisten as they pound pound pound on the rocks, and bits of icy cold frigid water fly into the air, anxious to escape her thundering brooding.
Alas, I probably won't make it out to the ocean today. I have a pizza party to go to with my son's basketball team. We'll create our own storm, I'm sure.

Sometimes there are bumps in the road. Sometimes there are sparkles in the air.
I would like it if our public school days...

Photo Challenge Rules
1. I will post a new photo each week on Thursday, so look for it and try to guess where the photo was taken.
2. To win the prize, post your guess in the comments here on my blog. The first correct answer wins.
3. Be as specific in naming the location as you can.
4. Let me know how to contact you, in case you win, so I can get the prize to you.
5. If you send me an email with the correct guess, it will count, but I'd prefer to have answers posted on the blog. That way, others can see your guess and use it as a clue.
6. Answers by phone or in person don't count. However, now and then I will give someone a hint if they ask me in person. In such cases, I'll post the hint on the blog, as well as on my Facebook page for everyone to see. And I might Tweet it too.
7. On Wednesday, I will announce the winner. You have from the time the image is posted on Thursday, through 7am on Wednesday to get your guesses posted in the comments.
8. My husband and kids are not allowed to participate - sorry guys. Please don't bribe them for the answer, unless the bribe is something yummy they can share with me.
9. Most importantly, pass this on to your local friends. The more the merrier!
Remember, all photos will be taken in the Kennebunks (Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Lower Village, West Kennebunk or Arundel).

SNIPPETING
Here's how you Snippet...
I will post a literary "snippet" - a tasty little morsel of verbiage that I've found in a book, movie, song, conversation, or just pulled from thin air.
Your job is to add to it. You can add a beginning and lead into the snippet, or you can work from the snippet, heading to an ending. You can write a song with it, or a poem, or just add another sentence, paragraph or dissertation. How much you add and in what direction is completely up to you.
Be sure to read the responses that others have posted. That's half the fun. But, you don't have to continue on from someone else's response.
Click on "Comment" and add your response to the snippet there.
Share this blog with your friends, so they can play too.
