| Halfmoon Bay Shore |
Halfmoon Bay is located near the coastal city of the same name at a distance of twenty-five miles south of San Francisco. Previously this bay was known as San Benito. One can reach this place along the State Route No.1(the Cabrillo Highway). This bay is well-known as a habitation for a variety of birds,marine creatures,plants and wild brushwood. All along the way one can experience the scenic beauty with pacific beaches on one side and the rocky terrain of hills dotted with trees and bushes on the other side..One can also enjoy the colourful spectacle of nurseries, orchards, strawberry farms and vine yards with spacious lawns where horses are bred and trained.

1) The brown grey hills with clustering trees
With wild brushwood and fluffy reeds
With mountain goats,deer and elks bluish grey
All along the way to the beauteous bay.
2) As squirrels nibble nuts with twinkling eyes
As nimble hares rush out leaping surprise
The long-tailed weasels burrow underground
A dynamic display of life in forests found.
3) A colorful flock of birds in sight
The blue heron and pelicans bright
The black ravens and mighty kites
Eagerly waiting to grab their bite.
4) A fabulous treasure of floating hues
This bluish deep hides from our view
The silver salmon,mackerel and pink shrimps swim
In darker depths dolphins and grey whales grim.
5) The bluish peaks of Santa Cruz appear
Bordering the lapping waves so clear
Fringed with red wood and lofty pine
A secure shelter for creatures marine.
6) So many pretty potted plants are seen
Fine nurseries with enchanting green
Passion-flowers with lilies white
With exotic hibiscus and orchids bright.
7) Full-blown roses in various shades
Blue Iris and violets--a fashion parade!
Thick-stemmed Cactus and ivy green
A colorful fragrant spectrum seen.
8) The farms with various crops full-grown
In autumnal brown not yet mown
Fields rich with berries,carrots and beet
With kiwis,blue grapes and apples sweet.
9) The Christmas Trees bedecked with co loured bells
Fine orchids and tulips cast a magic spell
Red juicy pumpkins with swelling glow
A feast indeed --Nature's captivating show!
10) The leafy growth spreading far and wide
On the marshy ground before the rising tide
Bright hollyhocks and iris blue
Amidst the green-a charming view!
11) As parents sit on the wooden log-seats
To share with children cakes and sweets
Beside the bed of dark green weeds
Dotted with blooms like tiny beads.
12) As children play with swinging ocean near
Elders bounce back to their yesteryear
Standing knee-deep in ripples that fold
A creeping thrill in icy waters cold.
13) Some bold youth seen surfing through seas
Tossing like leaves in stormy breeze
Thrown off like shells onto the shore.
By playful laughing waves that roar.
14) Warming their bodies in golden light
Some lie on soft bed before the swelling tide
Some lads enjoy their horseback ride
While others leapt and played by the ocean side.
15) The splashing spray with dynamic swing
With rhythmic motion the ocean swings
A moving wonder majestic and free

My bosom springs with vibrant glee.
16) The Half Moon Bay glistens in silver light
Of the rising moon--a thrilling sight!
The silky waves with bubbling glee
To swing and sing a dreamy lullaby!
17) The jagged cliffs and distant dense woods
In cool fresh air the ocean broods
As evening darkens silent and strange
In weird gloom around the mountain range.
