Fine work, Carl. The images breath a serene, tranquil mood reminding me much of Wilhem Müller's verses

"I heard a little brook babbling
from its rocky source,
babbling down to the valley,
so bright, so wondrously clear."

The English translation by Richard Wigmore sounds a little klutzy to my ears, but the music and the (German) text are wonderful:

(But then, I am definitely biased: this was a favourite of my mother)

Thanks Markus. That does sound wonderful in the linked performance. I'll listen to more of the concert later. The Preserve really is quite a magical place in almost any time of day or condition of light and weather.
