The problem with April is that it seems to last forever. We just get a taste of spring, and then it is back to cold temperatures and winter clothing. We had a couple of days with strong northwest winds this week that swept the beach clear of debris.

This week we moved our son out of his college residence at Georgian College. The beach is even quieter than usual with another COVID-related lockdown underway in the province.

The rule of thumb around here is not to plant flowers until May 1st. This year the season is way early. There is still the potential for a killing frost. We’re holding off.
This week, I lost my Sony camera. I’ve used it for six years, and managed to lose it riding down the beach on my mom’s new e-bike. I re-traced my path on foot to try and find where I might have dropped it, but no luck. The beach was crowded, and someone picked it up.
Thanks to Amazon, I had a new replacement camera by Wednesday (amazing). Not that the pictures will improve, but after April 14th, pictures are taken with my new updated Sony camera. For any photographers out there, the camera I selected is a Sony Cyber-Shot DSCHX99 High Zoom Camera. From what I understand, this camera offers the highest optical zoom, in the smallest physical package.
