It is waves. By that, I mean that, I like to walk as close to the water as I can and still avoid

getting wet. However, I have been caught more than once by a wave that moves like a
phantom. A phantom wave is a wave that suddenly comes farther into shore than the
others before I realize it. Another thing I like to do is pick up unusual looking rocks. At
Mora Beach, I found a rock that looks like an ice-cream cone. The cone part is dark grey.
The ice-cream part is white. I think I was really lucky to find such an odd rock. Finally, I
enjoy watching the birds. The smaller water birds scurry around looking for good things

to eat as they follow the waves that recede like retreating armies. My day at the seashore
was so beautiful and memorable.
