A Lovely Brook in Harvard

Some pics from a lovely brook in Harvard. 
 
 
On the north side there is a rock pile—just a small one-- on a boulder. A large split rock makes an interesting access to the brook from the rock pile. Last picture, a view of the brook  through the split rock.
[From an earlier email:]
... my son Scott and I found a lovely, lovely little brook with a small waterfall... There is a largish rock pile on a boulder nearby and two turtle looking stones, one at the base of the fall. ...I have also found a very large, notched rock, covered with quartz on one side. I suspected and confirmed the notch sights the North Star...

    That last photo greatly resembles this one at Laurel Hill Walks: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lW4pYDP-qpk/SxKJUJZ-N0I/AAAAAAAABNA/GxImmczHq3o/s1600/100_0257.jpg

    And that quartzy boulder: reminds me of a photo I saw of a solid quartz "frog boulder" from somewhere in Vermont, that the photographer alluded might be reminiscent of the Glooskabi and the Frog Story: http://members.shaw.ca/caren.secord/locations/NewBrunswick/Glimpses/VIII.html
