Describe a beautiful place or location in nature....
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Location: Waterfall.

The water is a beautiful blue with a crystal clarity. Its waters sparkle like diamonds under the sun. Many bright and vibrant fish swim in its waters. Crustaceans crawl in the depths and through the rocks sliding like spy's between walls in the cracks of the rocks. The sun trees around it dance in the wind creating a peaceful scene of nature. The sound of the flowing water, dancing trees, and distant animals blends together in one harmonious song. The scene satisfies my eyes and my soul.
