Shallow ford across a mountain stream, the trail rising again on the opposite bank, and disappearing between tall pine trees. Gravel banks above the water show how low the water level is. Moss and green plants cover some larger rocks to the left.

The ford crossing. (There is also a small footbridge for hikers)

The water level is already very low. End of summer levels (scary).
I could cross this without getting my feet wet via the gravel bank on the right.

Dense green undergrowth on the banks of a steam. In the foreground, green ferns spotted with sunlight. Behind, small shrubby trees densely pack the far bank. Only a glimpse of brown flowing water can be seen.

(We've been #hiking a lot this week, but I got too excited about feral cats to go thru the pictures 😂)
