- Смотри, вон там растут три березы, видишь? - она тыкала пальцем в голубое пятно впереди.
Время происходит ночью, поэтому белые березы виднеются в виде расплывчатого пятна. Spot сюда как-то не вписывается, так что я пока употребил shadow, хотя это тоже как-то не очень... Blotch, быть может? Не уверен.
“Look, the three birches are over there, see?” she said pointing towards a bluish shadow ahead of them.
