If you believe the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words", then I have the photos to prove it. Yes, I know that by publishing a blog I'm in the word business and I really am in love with language. But these trees - these giant sequoias - they leave me speechless.
If you would like to read or re-read my post "
Sequoias of Yosemite" you can find it in March 2011. In that post I try to describe my fascination with these oldest, largest and most beautiful living things.
Here are a few pictures to complement the "Sequoias of Yosemite" post:
As always, click on a photo to enlarge.

I've never seen personal photos of the sequoias--they're amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteStunning! When they "pose" next to normal-sized trees, you get tremendous perspective on these giants. Wow!
