    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Thank you. I'm thinking of entering one photo of Kiera, the first model who helped me, in a photography contest in Crescent City, next October. Possibly 4 photos. 2 redwood, one Crocosmia flower, and a photo of the Smith River upstream from the redwood park in Northern California. There's an...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    The model Kiera, who helped me several times in the coast redwoods, including the Lost Monarch photo, moved to San Diego a couple of months ago. With no choices on the photographer & model networking site where I found her profile, I posted an ad under GIGS in the Humboldt Craigslist. Out of 6...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    The omelettes won-over my appetite there. Curious, as you've probably eaten there far more than me ... was that place decorated with a twin theme, or slightly changed over time? The tables were built so permanent, it seems like it may have been started as a western theme originally and the name...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Dang ... I'm possibly meeting Atkins the first couple weeks of June. Wish I could squeeze in a weekend to hook up. Just got back. LOL ... I've got a knee brace in my truck's back door pocket just in case. Haven't needed it the past month, but got some swelling early April. Same thing here ...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    That was a spot in Prairie Creek where the water pooled ... plus a lot of shade. I should look at Fern Canyon sometime to see if it has a spot that would render similar with a smooth water surface.

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    The dress ones are more or less my favorites. Actually, the woman in the neon green tights posted recently, was what started the dresses series. She wore a patterned dress and posed by a redwood tree in one park, then later that day, on a stack of logs too, in Eureka. In fact, I've got one...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Did you notice the table in the lobby? It did not look cut by saw, but possibly split (?) .... but it had a look much like this curly redwood I found last weekend.

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    The woman in the OP redwood photo ... we were set for a big tree shoot this weekend. But after several folks had been mentioning the nice Lupine above Redwood National Park, we swapped locations. I usually don't take photos in bright light, but wanted to try the challenge of bright daylight and...

    Here's the next one I will be posting on Facebook, whether tonight or the next couple days. You may have seen one with the same outfit posted from Crescent City when I just had my laptop

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Howdy. Not sure if you got my email recently, but I'm exploring more for big redwoods. New ones. Found this blowdown recently in Redwood National and State Parks. Biggest blowdown I've ever come across. Appears to have been alive last year due to the brown foliage still clinging. And since it's...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Then ... this 7th largest redwood. Originally with a yellow dress, but the color didn't seem best on a print, so I adjusted the dress color yesterday, and the 20" x 30" print came out better than expected.

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Rather than a new thread on redwoods, maybe revive this one for various new redwood photo posts. The 1st photo in the OP ... here is a new Version #3 ...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Where you get that? What city? I looked up Fortuna nearby at several websites and am finding about 68 to 70 degrees. 90 would be too much for me too. ....

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    Friday is the most likely day if I go to Avenue of the Giants. But if Saturday looks promising, I'll start dropping messages your way, whether Facebook, email, etc.. Have you picked any particular trails yet? ...

    7th Largest Tree on Earth

    If weather holds this week, hoping to photograph another of the larger Coast Redwoods in Prairie Creek park. May even have enough time to get down to southern Humboldt around Avenue of the Giants for some exploring and hiking. Wouldn't mind finding another exceptional maple tree, too. ...
