Original Toronto Star caption: Gulls just wanna have fun; Thousands of Metro residents flocked to the water this week to beat the heat; including Anastasia Vladowski; 29; who doesn't mind sharing her little piece of paradise at Sunnyside Beach with a feathered friend. Temperatures yesterday reached 29.9C (86F); hot enough to bring a bird home to roost in the rays. More beach weather; with a high near 26C (79F); is expected today.
