An autumn dawn at Lagoon Valley:
The fog drifts along like cats on their way home from a night out.
Shadows flee, the deer rise and stretch, and search for food in the grassy meadows.
The suns rays dance along the tops of the golden hills,
then gradually slide down their sides, setting the autumn colored trees on fire.
