The beach continues to come alive day by day.

It is so cool to see how things change with the season.  The businesses are beginning to open again even on weekdays although it is still hit and miss depending on the weather.

It is a completely different place than it was back in January.

May 28th – always lots of cool cars to see on Beach one if you wait long enough
May 28th – Renovations to the roof of Paddlesurf are complete – they are no open for business.  The grass roof concept was awesome but apparently this doesn’t worth on Georgian Bay. The grass replaced by awesome looking new shingles. This is a great business and I need to try this out.
May 29th – you rarely see the bay this calm. So many incredible pictures today I had a hard time choosing my favorites. The one above taken near my regular parking spot at 18th street.
May 29th – looking down the boardwalk toward Beach one on a stupid perfect day. Incredible to still have the beach almost to myself.
May 30th – a little cooler weather. This picture looking northwest toward Collingwood. Nobody on the beach again today.
May 31st – Michelle and I made a second trip the beach one the same day running errands – caught this view of the sunset shortly after 9:00 pm. 
May 31 – Michelle took this picture of me at beach one as the sunset was fading. Cold wind from the north. There were actually people in the water – they’re made of tougher stuff than me.
June 1st – another great day. You can see how high the great lakes are in this photo – a full meter above normal I’m told. Apparently they cannot lower water levels at the locks due to flooding in Gatineau and other parts of Quebec. Lake Ontario is high also.  I think we can expect higher than normal water levels for the summer which makes the beach smaller than usual.
June 3rd – I walked down the beach twice on the third as well. This picture taken from the boardwalk just west of the beach one area.
