As I mentioned yesterday, Virginia and I spent a good part of the day at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. I know it's really hard to have perspective in a photo, but the giant Redwood above is nearly 300 feet tall. Some in the grove are taller by a little, and several are more massive. These trees are truly amazing ... the largest and oldest living things on the planet. In my mind they are a tribute to the creative imagination and power of God. Enjoy the other pics below.
VJ with a few giant friends.
This one is two trees that sprouted together and separated above the base.
The grove is also full of mountain dogwoods that were in bloom. Here's the perspective thing again. That Redwood in the center is probably 100 yards behind VJ.
Dogwood bloom with a really big tree in the background.
Beaver Creek on the trail to the South Grove. We'll see those trees next time.
