Back on the beach, an angry-looking bug...

And a very reptilian-looking bug...

Some final curiosities...

You stole my duck!

Was that duck just floating about? Is he yours, and/or did you just see him floating in the bay?

The duck was just floating there, it wasn't mine. Lake Huron is a big bathtub...
