Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just before 9:00 p.m. in "The City."

We took our fur-children to their veterinarian's appointment today. Everything went well and the girls are home and resting now. 

We didn't accomplish much else today except for solving a crossword puzzle and doing a lot of reading.

Tuesday, we took the fur-children to Grand Haven's City Beach and they had a good time romping in the sand and barking at the passage of strangers. Well actually, Ginger barked. STWD was her usual quiet self. I took along my camera and captured some great shots of the beach, the dog tracks, the outer lighthouse, the birds, and a gate at the nearby condo.

To avoid close contact with other people, we parked across the street from the beach. 

Mary and Ginger tracked through the drifting sand in the parking area for Noto's restaurant.

We have no clue why a locked gate is located next to a roped off patio area at the condos. 

If you snap the shutter often enough you get some great pix of a gull or one of its relatives, a tern.

Or, a crow in flight.

The waves were rolling, as befits the Small Craft Advisory that was in effect 
Tuesday afternoon.

Another gull or tern in flight. 

A feather from one of the gulls.

Driftwood, not drifting. 

The weather today was windy, but comfortable. We have a current temperature of 42° under cloudy skies. The low tonight is expected to drop to 37° before we rebound to tomorrow's high temperature of 43° under mostly-cloudy skies. The low for tomorrow, Friday, will be 32°. All of the is sandwiched between the sunrise @ 8:16 a.m. and the sunset @ 6:39 p.m.

tomorrow, we anticipate doing some cleaning, some reading, playing some music, and whatever else comes to mind. Ciao.
