Thankfully the redwoods (technically, "coast redwoods" or <em>sequoia sempervirens</em>) will probably be looking much the same. There's lots to learn about the redwoods; read up at the state parks site linked above and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoia">Wikipedia</a>, too. While the "tallest living thing" label is groovy enough, more impressive to me is something about their peaceful endurance. It wasn't quite fair to spend only an hour or so there. It probably takes longer than that to hear them say what they have to say. At least we have this picture. It will have to do until I can go back.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7110133673483364095-8499080105472286570?l=www.tenstellium.com'/></div>Gay Lyn Spencernoreply@blogger.com0
