That path is for your steps alone #ThickTrunkThursday
A path winds through a redwood forest, between the dawn and the dark  of night, between the sun and earth, between the shadows and the light, between the ferns and the giant trees.

Traffic is heavy on 101 south of Orick.
A heard of maybe 40 Roosevelt Elk cross the highway, stopping traffic.  The traffic piled up on the other side too eventually.  It took maybe 15 or 20 minutes for the whole herd to cross.  The little ones were curious.

The last rose of summer, yellow in an ode to the passing season, fully bloomed, on the bush, a little pale toward the outer edges.

Sunlight filters through a redwood forest illuminating the path in dappled, patchy patterns of shadow and bright light and nourishing the ferns that line the path.

Little girl lost in a forest of dreams It's a dark old wood, and it's damp with dew #ForestFriday #Redwood
Looking through a redwood forest, the camera doesn't really capture the size. Ferns up close, sunlight filters through in the distance. A big old gnarled tree in the front and lots of younger trees further away, some growing in groups of 3 or 5.

We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside #ThickTrunkThursday #Redwoods
The camera never conveys how big these things really are. A trail winds its way through a forest of redwood trees.  The trail is named Cathedral Trees trail in Prairie Creek State Park in Humboldt County, California, US.

A red rose.  Very red.  A bit oversaturated on the sunny right side.  A big one too, in the midpoint of its bloom cycle.  Another just like it is in the background partially out of frame.

A pink rose. Taken on a sunny day, not like today.  Healthy green leaves surround it.

A rose.  They change color over their lifecycle.  On the bottom, in the shadows is a new blossom with lots of red.  On the top, behind is a caramel or apricot rose, and the one in the middle looks yellow.  Remembering Paul.

When you're a pelican, you don't ask "What's for dinner?". It's fish. It's always fish. But the where and when make all the difference.
Sunset on the beach, with a few pelicans flying by. Samoa, tonight.

De-o, de-o #ForestFriday
A banana slug on a moss covered tree trunk in a redwood forest.  It was around 6 inches long, which I hear is about average. They are the mascot  for UC Santa Cruz, but this was found closer to Cal Poly Humboldt.

An orange rose in the sun.  These change color as they age, adding reds and yellows, and maybe a touch of grey.  Kind of suits them anyway.

A rose, yellow in the middle and white with a bit of red at the outer edges, with a branch that has seen some better days.  Removing a roses thorn leaves it vulnerable to bugs, mold and decay.

A rose, yellow in the middle, more pale toward the outside with some hints of red at the edges.  There are 3 small drops of dew on the lower petals, and two more buds in the back waiting their turn to bloom.

Tied up and twisted the way I like to be #DMB #ThickTrunkTuesday
A redwood tree in Sequoia Park by the side of the road. It's bark spirals up it's trunk like a candy cane, giving the impression that it was twisted as it grew.

3 lavender roses and one orange one. The lavender ones are edging in on the orange one's bush, but there's plenty of space for the ladies to have a confab.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. ― Jimi Hendrix Happy 4th of July #FlowerFriday

A rose of many colors.  Yellow in the middle, red at the outside edges of each petal, with streaks of white and maybe a little orange in there.

#ThickTrunkThursday
A little more tree porn, exposing all those parts that are normally covered up.  This is a root ball.  The tree fell long ago and the roots have been washed by the rain (maybe wind too, but it's very protected there).  The thick trunk is visible in back if you look closely. Obviously a sunny day, and a rare time when kids aren't climbing all over it (I was tempted).  Sequoia Park.

The tree fell, the branch broke (I swear it wasn't me) Left the inside visible, for everyone to see #ThickTrunkThursday #Redwood
A cross-section of a broken branch of a redwood tree, showing the red core, the lighter tan live ring on the outside, and the bark.  The tree fell across the path. It was about 2 feet in diameter at the path.  This is in Sequoia Park near the zoo.

An orange rose on a sunny day.  After these are picked they change to a caramel or latte color.  Sounds appetizing.  
Orange doesn't last forever.  It fades over time.

A red rose, in full bloom on a sunny day. There is a bit of black around the edges on these, and on this one that's visible in one pedal, maybe two. Also it was a bit windy, so it got cut off on the left.
