The Place of Water                     by Kristen

There is a small beach.  It is very colorful due to the many rocks that sparkle and shine in the sunlight.  It is quiet and peaceful.  The colorful arrays of pebbles light the cool, light blue surface of the shallow water with dancing spots of light.  A think, dense forest is in the background.  Its long, shady branches cast small shadows over the sandy beach.  Huge, moss-covered trees loom over the carpet of twigs and leaves sitting on the forest floor.  The smooth flow of the waves and current washes the sandy ground, leaving a new assortment of shells, driftwood and more colorful rocks.  If I listen closely, I can hear birds singing and squirrels chattering as they feast on nuts and seeds.  The view is breathtaking.  I would give almost anything to live there.
