On the sunny day the trees were just beautiful. In spring when the maples, oaks, poplars, beeches and birches are leafed out I'll be this is a riot. In the fall it must be amazing with color, but here in winter it's still pretty great -

Anyway...still processing more from downstream. Eventually we get to a beaver pond. Fun stuff.
