540 Walk In The Woods

"First, we add some larger creatures moving in the distance. The random cracking of branches and noises will help. Then we move the light to sunset, where everyone can see, but not as clearly.

First, near the water, it should be cooler, but we will also add a few spots of cool breeze along the pathways."

There was a splash as one of the birds landed in a pool tree leaf, followed by a small growl as the tree's resident protested the intrusion, and all of the kids were startled, looking around to try to place the noise.

"I think that alone should be enough for the introduction. How about it? Does it look beautiful and feel a bit spooky, but not horror movie spooky?" Max asked.
