Rain was in the forecast today, but on North Avenue Beach, it was nowhere to be found.  Sunny, warm, but none of the July and August humidity was in the air, which probably kept beach attendance down a bit, but there were still plenty of people milling about.  Everyone seemed to be having a good time.  Volleyball, touch football, castles in the sand, and the smell of a little reefer in the air.
