Generate for me a description of a enchanting scene outside a forest with boulders, ferns, and fronds.

Lichen-speckled boulders are scattered through the thinning forest like a giant child's game of jacks. Some of the stones are piled together, or cracked, with fronds of ferns and delicate flowers growing from the rocky crevices. Others stand solitary watch over the road that courses among them. The sky is visible overhead, as the obscuring canopy of sequoia branches has given way to shorter, less dense hardwoods.
