My happy place is near the ocean

I love to visit my hometown and see the rugged beauty I adore.

I love the sunlight gleam on the ocean and listen to its roar. 

Buoys float on the ocean that help fishers find their traps and nets. 

Whales splash their tails on the water and in the distance I see a sunset.  

Gulls soar overhead  and complete this picture perfect scene. 

Being by the ocean is my happy place so peaceful and serene. 

My heart yearns to return to my home around the bay.  Some day I shall return there and that is where I'll stay.
