My daughters stand on the bank overlooking the water, taking in the Chester, NH view.
They had to be a quick study - fortunately, the woods were more patient with me.
I stained/washed the water and sky with fallen purple berries found spread over the ground.
. . . for that pond- made-of-grape-juice feel.
The exposed roots in the foreground (lower right) looked like petrified snakes.
