Description
"The river ... banks were seven or eight feet high, and densely covered with white and black spruce,which, I think, must be the commonest trees thereabouts,fir, arbor-vit, canoe, yellow and black birch, rock, mountain, and a few red maples, beech, black and mountain ash, the large-toothed aspen, many civil-looking elms, now browned, along the stream, and at first a few hemlocks also.... The immediate shores were also densely covered with the speckled alder, red osier, shrubby willows or sallow, and the like. There were a few yellow lily pads still left, half-drowned, along the sides, and sometimes a white one. Many fresh tracks of moose were visible where the water was shallow, and the lily stems were freshly bitten off by them."

oh my goodness, Marcia, this is wondrously beautiful: the textures, the color and the description also, a great piece of art. I can't ever understand why these pieces don't fly off the shelves and sell like hot cakes?
