Encountering Giants


On the road through the Sequoia National Forest.
Within a few hundred miles we have driven a desert road and now a forest road….
This Sequoia beauty is 1500 years old and 245' tall
 Lyrical sounding names -  Ponderosa Pines, Sugar Pines, Incense Cedars, White Firs coexist with these giant Sequoias. I even glimpsed my first chipmunk for the trip, cute Alvin….

Exposed roots of a Sequoia that fell in the 1800's.
PS: I was in a coffee shop in Reno, and Alvin was looking down at me from the lintel. Asked him to join us and took a quick photo - what attitude.
