Central California
Little Red Walking Hood
Sunrise in the Redwood Grove Redwood State Park, Humboldt, CA Willie and I have always wanted to visit the big Redwood trees, and although we have a few near us in Santa Cruz, there's nothing like the big old original growth forests up in Northern California. David decided to fly in and join us, so we picked him up at the airport and off we drove. There aren't really any hotels around Humboldt County State Park, so we brought our camping gear and setup for a few days of photography in the park. We knew of a few groves of trees we wanted to visit, especially because of the beautiful sorrel growth underneath them. Sorrel is similar to clovers except different -- so when we found a "4-leaf clover" it turns out it wasn't lucky (sad)! For sunrise we woke up and visited this particular grove. As the sun came up it hit this particular patch of sorrel perfectly to cause the little path to glow. We all crowded around and enjoyed the sunrise view.
