Let me take you on a tour through the forest, one of my favorite activities. Sometimes the trail going through is pretty narrow.

Pine trees have so many thick branches that it can be hard to see the blue sky through them.

Pine tree sap is see through, although it tends to reflect a lot of its surroundings too.

Sometimes when you hike in a park, a river runs through it.

Forests are full of plants and animals, including insects. Insect wings are usually see through, including the wings of this blue dragonfly.
