In summer this is the beach of the local lake, busy with children of all ages, splashing in the water, laying in the sun, building sand castles, playing ball and generally enjoying themselves, joyously and usually noisily. In winter it’s quiet and there are different folks frequenting the water and the beach: geese and coots and ducks and swans and cormorants. They seem to be enjoying themselves just as much as the summer visitors.

Water, Water Everywhere
