Bodega Bay

It was late autumn when the 
summer leaves on the trees 
was just turning to a reddish 
orange, and each day the 
morning sunlight would become 
dimmer by a mist of incoming 
fog.

Down by the sea, fisherman 
were out in there boats with 
fish nets in tow searching for 
the big catch.

In the distance, a constant 
sound of a foghorn was heard 
for miles, and giant waves 
splashing against the channel 
rocks, was a 
beautiful mental painting Pablo 
Picasso, would've been proud 
to see-

Then suddenly, straight out the 
sky appeared these tiny 
Sandpipers, parading along the 
shore, pecking there beaks in 
the sand for food 
on the beach -

It was a beautiful autumn day 
at Duran Beach in Bodega Bay, 
California.
