At the Beach

I hate to brag to all you Michiganders and Ohioans but it was in the high 80's here today....a little too hot for me but I am not going to complain! We went for another walk on the beach at the state park and Allison found a great shell. It is so perfect it doesn't look real. Also, thought to open the bird notes mail box and inside was a little note book. People use it to write what birds that they saw on the beach that day. Pretty cool idea.
As we were walking towards the causeway we saw several Painted Buntings at a bird feeder and this time I got a better picture. See below. Have several more pictures from this morning and will post tomorrow.
