Description

I was up at 6 am with the sun at my Agawa Bay campsite on the shores of Lake Superior. I started out early to hike a bit of the Awausee Trail. I was told there was a nice pool and waterfall up there. It sounded like something very worth painting. I had both hands occupied with my easel and paints. The trail went straight up but it would have been fine if I had taken my smaller plein air kit. Next time.

I found this little woodland pool along the trail on the way back from painting #2126 "Superior Awausee Lookout" at the first lookout on the Awausee Trail. The hungry mosquitoes found me as well and really hurried me along. The sound of the water trickling through the tree roots was music to my ears. The huge tree and roots clung to the rocks and kept as much soil as they could on the steep slope. Mossy and lichen surfaces were everywhere. It was almost like a rain forest setting. There are more than a few bugs mixed in with the thick paint that I applied to the very smooth and slippery surface.
