Holy trees. Not as in “Holy trees Batman!”….but Holy, as in sacred and precious. As in considered worthy of spiritual respect, inspiring awe or reverence.
It’s not like I’ve never seen redwood trees before. I lived on the California coast for years. It’s just that they are one of the most majestic life forms I’ve ever seen.
This morning we leave WS in her campsite and I drive JR south to The Avenue Of The Giants. There is a self guided driving tour that explains some of the sites, but I make most of my stops at less popular pull overs, so we can have some alone time with the trees.
It’s cool and quiet, as we stand in the presence of these majestic tree-beings. We walk among them and then just stop, and I feel the energy they radiate. So pure. So positive. So protective. It feels like….dare I say it….love. I feel like I’m receiving an infusion of love…from trees. It’s heartwarming and uplifting and I have an endorphin rush.
Yes, I’m your tree hugger type. Today they hugged me back!
Joy and Shiloh pick up the awesome energy
If you ever get the chance, you might want to consider adding spending time with redwood trees to your bucket list.
Can you see JR parked between the trees?
Some not yet ripe wild blackberries.
I have more pictures but my free internet isn’t cooperating….I hope the pictures above convey a tiny bit of the beauty we experienced today.

The contrast between the truck and the trees is mind boggling! Beautiful, beautiful trees.
I hope you make a trip up here soon Maureen!
I remember hiking in Redwoods NP as a teenager. It was the first time that I really understood the idea of being in nature as being a truly spiritual experience. A natural cathedral which even the greatest of stone masons can only mimic,
Good that you learned so young Rick.
Ok I read your comment on Sues blog about the thingamajig and the whatchamacallit and whatthehellisdisthing. Cracked me up! Sounds like me trying to describe a mechanical situation for real. 😂😂
The confession of your dendrolatry was well written.
Well Ed I can’t say as I worship them but it gives me the desire to worship their creator.
Such beautiful pictures. I can feel that energy from here!
Love being in their energy field.
love these places
Me too!
This was about trees. My plans didn’t make them.
