Giant Redwoods of Northern California | photography, 2024

Seeing the giant redwoods of northern California had been on my bucket list for a while. I was so glad to share the trip with my daughter and her family last year. Just walking through the redwood forest was mesmerizing and awe inspiring. When one of the kids walked by when I was photographing a redwood over 300 feet tall it reminded me how small we are in nature and how important it is to preserve these giants.
