It always amazes Carol and me that more people who actually live at the beach don't take advantage of the beach. I mean without the beach this is just another small Ontario town - why do people choose to live here?

Yesterday was Kite Fest and we went down to the 'main end' to enjoy the festivities; huge kites, hundreds of restored old cars, suds, surf and of course lots of eye candy.

Carol took some great shots, she really does well with the camera in the hustle bustle environments. I on the other hand was just a bit overwhelmed. I need to be a little more deliberate; setting up, composing, check, check and re-check. That's just my nature. So, while Carol really did well, I did not - but we compliment each other.

In the evening we took a bottle of wine and our chairs down to our end of the beach to enjoy the sunset. With an overcast sky rolling in it was all a bit flat but I made the best of it and found myself back in my element. I hope you like the images I posted in my Beach Gallery.
