This is my watercolor painting of the waterwheel at Little Bear Tree Farm in Alta, California. This view of the waterwheel on the Little Bear Creek, is what you see upon your arrival at the parking lot. The tree farm has 50 acres of Silver Tip (Red Fir) and White Fir along with a choice selection of pre-cut Noble and Nordmamn fir for Christmas trees and is open to the public Thursdays to Sunday from November 22nd to December 23rd.
