Description

A small stream flows across the beach near Cape Blanco, to return to the mothership sea, after passing some massive pieces of driftwood washed up by storms of long ago. The ripples in the stream seemed to dance in the sunlight, while the pacific waves played a pleasing symphony in the background. The patterns in the sand created a visual poetry, and a wing-creature soared effortlessly in the cool breezes above. On the distant horizon, the reef rocks of the Orford Reef provided a graceful interruption of where the turquoise hues of the sea embrace the shades of blue in the sky. It felt like a perfect moment in time, and it seemed like there could be no place on earth that I would rather be.
