This week's sharing on Facebook. Another "Godrays" photo from one mornings set in Jedediah Smith redwood park. This is a sunrise colliding with the fog.

Thank you.

 

I just got a note that the California Parks conservancy chose my owl photo above, as photo of the month for May ... they will send a camera bag gift and feature it in a newsletter. That was handy. I forgot I submitted it too .. lol

 

Here's one more from a couple months ago.

Finally got myself over to see the trees. Spent just over 2 weeks on a road trip covering 3 states and seeing some amazing places (and enormous trees)!

Not tree related but a taster of what we saw

Looks like you covered a lot of territory. Although coast redwood is the widest species, rangers don't know the locations of the biggest of those anyway, so the giant sequoia are definitely fulfilling. I like the rock thing at the bottom of your second post. Looks like something I'd enjoy visiting too.

 

Here's a messing-around shot with two friends from my last visit in-between portraits. The Power of the Force ...

Yes, that was in Sedona. Red rock literally everywhere. We stayed at the Best Western (also red!). The chapel of The Holy Cross is carved from the rock and inset into the hill. The dune buggy scene was from Coral Sands between Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon. The sand really is pink. You can go sand-boarding there too. The reason I managed to blag a ride was because me and the family helped dig them off a ridge crest they took too slowly. A fun lunch-stop for us and apart from dune buggy man, we were the only people for miles around.
