Redwoods!

While in the hills South of San Francisco, the Ritchies took us to a great Redwood Forest Park.




 Sometimes lightning will strike a tree and set the innermost part of it on fire.  Since outside layers are what is really living, the tree continues to stand for years. Which makes for a dramatic place to take a picture!


The grandeur of something this big, this sturdy, was overwhelming.


On the way back to their place for dinner, we saw the tiniest fawn I had ever seen in the wild nursing from its Mom.

Nature is fun!

Banana Slug!


I snapped this the morning of the California reception to show Suzanna.  It was on the stairs going up to Emma's new in-laws' house.


Of course, I can't entitle this blog without hearing the "RingRingRingRingRingRingRing" of a previous meme...
