Dark, Lonely and Luring
A lonely California Beach and the Cold Dark and Drippy Redwoods. The Old Growth areas are the best.
edited---decided I liked this processing better.

You two really treat yourselves well.
Good for you, and thanks for sharing your fine photography.

Those nice pictures could be taken in about 100 places in California. Give us a hint. As a blind guess, Butano State Park, but you may be more North.
In that case, I will start with Julia Pfeiffer State Park, then up to Mendocino.

You're right, Diane, those old growth places are the best!
Going through your photos brings to mind the wonderful smell of the redwood forest.

THANK YOU all for the nice comments. We are having a good time----more to come, maybe not in order.
I guess I should have said where we were as you are correct---there are so many places we could have been!
The beach picture was at Humbolt Lagoons State Park south of Orick.
The last two pictures were taken in the Lady Bird Johnson Grove north of Orick----
I am sorry, but I don't remember exactly which canyon we were driving up when I took the second picture. I need to take notes!
Woody, my camera is a Canon 40D----but I think that series is up to 60D or maybe 70D now. And John is using an older Canon RebelXT --and we have
more lenses than we should. 
Again, thanks for looking and commenting. It is appreciated

Those redwood groves are great. Thank you for reminding me to not take them for granted.

For those of you who love the redwoods, or even those who love a good read here's a great book:

Great pictures, but they are not of "old growth" redwoods. In the last one you can see the stump of the "old growth". What we are now seeing is
secondary or even third growth trees. "Old growth" trees are just enormous. I am not meaning to detract from the picture of beauty, just a bit of
clarification.
