Beach on the Ottawa River

 I have the use of a car for the week,
so I drove to the end of the Dunrobin Road,
 to a tiny sandy beach that most of the world ignores.
 There was me, two people who were whale watching
(they said they had seen 11, but I think they were making it up - we are too far inland)
 and sand and shells, mostly fresh water clams,
 driftwood, and a couple of feathers,
 an old fishing lure (which I threw into the bushes away from the sand),
rocks, and more shells.
 I should have brought this snail shell home...
 I did very little to rearrange things,
 preferring the natural look.
 More shells,
 and driftwood.
 I started wondering how long sand stays on a given beach,
 how long before it is washed downstream to the next one...
 I was able to wade in the water,
 although the waves made the water murky
 beyond ankle depth.
 Altogether a wonderful day.
