Navarro Redwoods and Humboldt Redwoods Avenue of the Giants

Barely got 4 pages into these books a couple days ago, and decided to wait for my redwood visit a week from now to relax and enjoy. But the sample I read was exceptionally well written, and reminded me of how some wines or foods improve with age.  Gerald (w/ Mrs. B’s assist) has released some very good publications already, including High Climbers and Timber Fallers, or Coast Redwood Tree of Dreams and Fortune. But the pages of these latest books exudes a maturity that reminds me of how some plants or trees look beautiful for many years, but eventually reach a point where they produce a certain fruit or blossom that has been long anticipated.  If you think along the lines of the Century Plant, etc., that’s what I mean. Anyhow, I’m itching to get into these pages deeper. Bet everyone I cross paths with in Nor Cal will get a glimpse of these.

I will update this blog post as I move through the pages.

Thank you Gerald !! … wonderful work and photos.
