February 18, 2014

What we prized on Lake Ontario shores: dinosaur jaw, shark teeth, quartz orbs and goblin ore. Cobalt slivers of Blue Willow, the crockery smashed by scullery maids and washed, washed, washed to the bone. Rocks balanced en pointe by beach-stone technicians. Couples in jean shorts danced to recorded salsa. Our stroller did the boardwalk wobble. Dazed on the sand, daylight stargazers felt the slow burn. Rochester obliged as the near horizon. Waves sent a foaming bottle-message. Clouds chest-pumped mountain impressions. The beach walked home in our sandals. PHOTO: Andrew Hudson
