View from Elk Prairie today (Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park).

As this photo was being taken, a park visitor arriving on the scene and approaching more closely has aroused the attention of the herd. Calving season is generally late May through June and breeding season is late August through October. Caution and respect is advised no matter how pastoral a scene may appear.)

Green grasses, local wildlife, redwood forest, all in this morning’s view from Elk Prairie in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The sign in the foreground reads “George A. Lancaster Memorial Grove.” The animals appear small because this photo was taken from quite a distance away. As this photo was being taken, a park visitor arriving on the scene and approaching more closely has aroused the attention of the herd. Calving season is generally late May through June and breeding season is late August through October. Caution and respect is advised no matter how pastoral a scene may appear.

Redwood National and State Parks today. Days with a modest tide make getting around quite easy (A note of caution for those who are troubled by insects: this is the time of year when small biting insects drift in the coastal area and their bite far exceeds their size).

View from the coastal area of Redwood National and State Parks today. The blue sky is a welcome sight. The addition of elegant flowing cloud forms is an added benefit. In the foreground, the Pacific Ocean meets the shore. The point in the distance is about a four mile walk round trip from the closest trailhead.

A view into a dense forest. This is the new National Park Service web camera site in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. The image has trees from edge to edge and from top to bottom. The bend in the tree trunks is an effect of the lens used to gather these images. Trees include redwood, tanoak, madrone, and others. On the forest floor are ferns and sorrel. A bit of sky is visible along the upper edge.

Today, I took a walk in a literal redwood rain forest five minutes from my house. Eureka, CA’s Sequoia Park, is their city park entirely within city limits. It is flat out stunning. It is humbling, restful, and energizing all at the same time.

There were kids laughing on the playground, a family setting up for a birthday celebration, teens posing for pics on a giant banana slug sculpture, and a lot of older folks simply walking and enjoying the trees… I’m saying it right now—I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the thrill of walking among trees with trunks twice as wide as my car and taller than 12-story buildings...

This helps reset my heart, you know?

The Velella Velella (or “by-the-wind-sailor”), numbering in the thousands, in the coastal section of Redwood National and State Parks today.

Velella Velella or “by-the-wind-sailor” washed ashore in the coastal section of Redwood National and State Parks. Examples ranged in color from clear to deep blue. A variety of sizes were noted with most being less than three inches in diameter. This image shows the semi-transparent Velella Velella on the sand with the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean in the background and a slightly cloudy blue sky above.
