Whether there is fog at night or clear sky, the redwood forest is accompanied by beaches, some virtually adjacent to the parks. This photo was taken about 2:30am in the morning, at the south end of Del Norte Redwoods State Park just off Highway 101. To reiterate, the long exposure is not a sunset … but […]
Just got a copy of a new book COAST REDWOOD “TREE OF DREAMS AND FORTUNE” by G. F. Beranek. Probably the most photographically loaded book ever in my bookcase or office. The author, a previous Coast Redwood and Timber Faller turned author and photographer, wrote me that this book is virtually opposite of his other […]
One of my favorite locations for photography is Stout Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. And in that grove, there is one outstanding group of Coast Redwood trunks that I find remarkable for a background behind, and surrounding visitors. Here are two examples below … select each image to enlarge.
After the photo of Lost Monarch with Kiera in the red dress got 100,000 views on Facebook, it came to mind to try something similar with Sir Isaac Newton, the 7th largest coast redwood. Although, this time with a yellow dress. This photo looks optimum 16′ x 20″ or bigger, but this web size photo […]
Just visited the Grove of Titans again, May 1st, to see how the redwoods and area were doing, and capture the present scene in photograph. Last time I saw these redwoods was summer 2012. It’s evident than more than a handful of people are not limiting movement to packed spots for photos. Also, some folks […]
Took this photo just a couple minutes upstream from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. This is a confluence of the Smith River, less than 1 mile from Hiouchi. Nearby there is a bridge to crossing so visitors can pass through Douglas Park and reach Howland Hill Rd., Stout Grove, and the midst of the redwood […]
If you ever explore Jedediah Smith redwood park’s west edge adjacent to Crescent City, you may spot a hulking giant trunk with a cave in it — the Church Tree redwood — and it has a goose pen inside it the size of a room. A few months ago, I placed my flash units inside to show […]
1st two weeks of April … and the first Cobra Lily flowers extend upward. This particular Darlingtonia in the photos below is not the botanical wayside near mile marker 17 or 18 of Hy. 199. This patch is less than 1/2 mile of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Cobra Lily and Coast Redwoods habitats are […]
Right now, early April, Flowering Currant is blooming around the north redwood parks. The genus is Ribes. One of my favorite indigenous plants. The locations I spotted these at recently, were around Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and a few around Bald Hills Road above Redwood National Park, past Lady Bird Johnson Grove. These Ribes […]
