It's a small creek, so the water flow varies with the rains. It is quite low now.
Along the creek, deer have used our backyard as a passage to other places. They made their own path.
The deer path continues along the entire width of our land, following the creek.

Some felled trees were turned into little benches and sit invitingly by the creek. The creek is surrounded by old growth mountain laurel and rhododendren so it is always cool.

We even have a table and chair if you would care to have a snack or do some work. Unfortunately, the wonders of nature around you and the soft gurgle of the creek tend to be quite a distraction, so we don't do anything serious down by the creek. The reason for being there is the quiet and peaceful nature of the woods and the creek. Our neighbors' grandsons think it's a perfect spot for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich picnic. When they visit they always want to come play in our backyard.

What a great place to sit, breathe and relax!
I know just how you feel. thank goodness you have your creek. I am fortunate to have the lake near me.
your surroundings look beautiful.
I love the spot and can understand its lure. Terrific furniture too.
What a wonderful place to be able to enjoy.
I understand. My pond relieves stress but I'd love to sit by the creek under the trees. What a wonderful place! Thanks for letting us visit. It's beautiful.
