What an absolutely gorgeous picture!!!! Thanks for sharing : )

This hits home for me because when I was a kid my parents took a camping trip here every summer and I have the best memories here. If a photo can live up to my treasured memories, it's a good photo!

There is something about the Redwoods (at least as far as I remember in 1998) that has a very otherworldly glow. I have my first memory of thinking that life was going to be beautiful while being in this forest. I was 5 years old, leaning my head against the car window and watching the forest move past while my dad drove us through. I got this sense of beauty and importance, like something was telling me that anything is possible. I remember immediately telling my parents "I think my life is supposed to be very awesome!" right after I felt that. I was singing a song to myself and just feeling the divine beauty of the earth. I remember the way the light was moving through the trees and hitting the window. I can't believe how universal earths beauty is, knowing that as a child it hit me with the same depth. I credit the Redwood forest : )
