It was one of those days that looked like the perfect beach day.  A brilliant blue sky, just enough clouds to offer a little reprieve from the sun, and the perfect temperature for mid-July.  But one step out from behind the dunes revealed strong gusting winds, blasting sand, and a beach covered in texture.  I hid behind a dune just long enough to snap a few photographs and then ran back to the shelter of the neighborhood streets.
