April 19... Beach day...

Whilst most sane people were likely inside with their winter wooly socks and thick sweaters on... huddling around the heat registers to stay warm on this blustery day... one particularly strange individual decided that it would be a lovely time for a stroll down the beach... to see what had possibly washed up in the surf on this windy windy day.  Definitely not beach weather yet though - i really should have had my winter parka on to be sure!!!  And alas, no pirate treasure maps washed up either... I'll just share a few pics of my time battling the elements.
Wow, those waves were huge!
Proof that i was there...and waved to Timothy across the pond... he claims he waved back...hmmm... didn't see it but i suppose i'll have to take his word for it!
This was all dry when we were here a few weeks ago.... now all covered in waves!
The waves pounding in on the shore... the gulls were loving the wind currents!
That was a particularly great wave!!!
Yes, Lake Ontario apparently has some drainage/slanting issues..
Eeeeewwwweeeyyyy... a dead carp - a big sucker - i stuck my boot toe in there to give a size comparison
Check out the nasty teeth on this fellow...i have no idea what it is... any clues anyone???  Maybe it's the mini-LochNess monster swum over from Scotland...
Bootprints in the sand...
This little rock had such a melancholy expression on his face... i had to take a picture of him to make him feel better!
My favorite picture of the day... saved it for last!

Yup, I liked your last picture best too :) But the others are cool too...the beach was the last thing I would have expected to see on a blog today...too cold for me to be out there!!
