woodland stream
Shaded flowing water
A woodland stream is a small, natural watercourse flowing through forested land.
The phrase evokes a particular setting—dappled light, mossy banks, water moving over rocks and fallen branches.
It appears in nature writing, poetry, and descriptions of rural or wild landscapes: We followed a woodland stream until we reached the clearing.
