Memorable day...

Yesterday's blip in the summer weather: warm and sunny, soon passed by, and the rain was again steady for most of the day. Harking back to the beginning of the week, and stating that less-than-perfect beach weather wasn't going to stop me (or the angler) from enjoying ourselves, I was rather pleased to come across the scene pictured here.

Despite the rain (it was quite mild, temperature wise), there was this family finding a way for their small daughter - and themselves, most likely - to have a good time on the beach. It is good to see people not be deterred by unwanted weather conditions and find a way to make it fun, digging holes on the shoreline and making sandcastles. In fact, I would wager that today will be one of the more memorable days out, and will get talked about for some time to come. One thing was for certain, they had several miles of beach to themselves, as there was not even a dog walker present this afternoon. Just the occasional photographer.
