Forest Stream

A clear stream winds through a green forest, breaking around mossy rocks and fern-covered banks. Tall trunks rise behind the water, their straight lines contrasting with the tangled leaves below. Sunlight reaches the channel in small patches, turning ripples white and revealing stones beneath the surface.

White water winds between the boulders in several short bends, not one continuous stripe. Deeper pools reflect green from the banks, with stones still visible beneath the calmer surface. Moss gives the larger rocks rounded, softly textured tops. Ferns have more orderly rows of leaflets along their stems. Behind the stream, tall trunks stand close together, and the spaces between them grow lighter where sunlight reaches the forest floor.
