How F%#@ing Cool Is This?

Look! Look! Part of our vast real estate holdings! We really, truly have an honest-to-god running stream! Even though it's been off limits due to treacherous ice-encrusted snow (on a slippery slope, mind you) today I made my way down and photography and despite my aversion to all things snow and ice, I had to admit it was beautiful.

This was a stream arabesque with some hidden rocks or tree fall (trefoil) providing an unseen structure.

And there are two "bridges". The one on the right was cleverly constructed from a aluminum ladder dropped across the stream and covered by two planks. I have used that one to cross the stream and managed to not even fall in!
