Alt text long description: A watercolor painting depicting a serene forest scene. A small stream meanders through the center, reflecting the surrounding environment. On either side of the stream, varied shades of green, brown, and yellow illustrate dense foliage and trees, capturing an autumnal atmosphere. Tall trees with slender trunks stand upright, their branches extending gracefully. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves and patches of moss. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting gentle shadows and creating a dappled light effect on the stream and forest floor.

About a two-minute hike in the spring from the trail head. Two large flat stones create a natural bridge across the stream. Numerous views of aging moss, lichen covered birch, shimmering in the forest light, inspired this series of landscapes.
