Lake Huron peeks through the grass

Another way to view the beach

We've evolved a number of traditions in our little family over the years, and one of my favorites is the end-of-summer trip to the beach before we all head back to work and school.

We're lucky to have two Great Lakes within easy driving distance of our house: Port Stanley on Lake Erie about 50 km to the south, and Grand Bend on Lake Huron just over 60 km to the north. This time out, the kids chose Grand Bend, and even though there was a better-than-even chance for some stormy weather later in the day we happily loaded the car and headed off.

It isn't a day at the beach unless there's a photowalk or three, and this day was no exception. Our daughter and I walked from one end of the beach to the other, looking for things that triggered us. There was plenty, and this is among my faves from the day.

We're already counting the days till our next beach trip.
