Wet suit weather

(Splashier in large - which I still don't know how to do a link to!)
After a few days of complete neglect, my camera was in need of a bit of excersise today. The rain had cleared, the sun came out and the beach was calling. It was beautifully warm as I ambled along the beach, coatless for the first time in ages, merrily chatting away to myself and watching the surfers.
And then out of the blue, the heavens opened and a decade's worth of rain fell in 10 minutes. My rain coat was in the car, I was in the middle of a very big and open beach. I got a little bit damp. As did my camera.
Bloody weather :(

(Not sure about the editing of this, but the full colour version was a bit ugly, there must have been quite a bit of run off from the Red River as the sea was really brown and hideous. Not seen it like that before)
