A north wind blows (of course).
Trees toss and rustle.
Waves run.
A hawk hovers.
Clouds are sunlit or gray.
Cloud shadows scythe.
The sea is steel-like at a distance, white or green close in.
Surf roars.

Ketch, hydrofoil and dinghy are docked.
Lawn and flowers surround a stone house.
Boats rock.
Lines creak.
Earth is warm.
Air is chill.
Autumn approaches.
