The Redwoods

Pictures don't begin to describe the redwood trees. The tallest are over 360 feet. Even tho sequoias are wider in diameter, the redwood is plenty wide. They only grow along a thin line of the coast of northern CA. People grow them in their yards here but there could not be a forest of them. And, they can't grow as high because of lack of rain. Throughout the forest floor is a ground cover that looks like large 3-leaf clovers but they are really called redwood sorrel. I couldn't help wondering if there might be some with 4 leaves.

Because the foliage in the forest is so dense I had a hard time getting enough light to take pictures. I took several on night exposure but without a tripod they were all a little blurry.
