I would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you as you visit family and give thanks for all that we have been blessed with. I have been writing this blog for about 6 months and would like to thank each of you for your visits and kind words. In the process of starting my blog, I have discovered a wonderful group of photographers that are truly a community that gives and shares. Thank you all.
Sequoia National Park is located in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains in California. It is about a 4 hour drive from Yosemite National Park. The park is famous for its giant sequoia trees, including the General Sherman tree, the largest tree on Earth.
Sequoia is not nearly as visited as it’s more famous cousin to the north, but it is a beautiful place to visit and an unspoiled treasure. The lack of crowds, even during the summer months, allows you to roam freely amid these majestic trees. I headed to visit a grove near our hotel and spent a good two hours walking the grove taking in my surroundings and the serenity. I didn’t once see another person despite the beauty of the sunrise streaming through the trees allowing me to be one with nature.
Happy Thanksgiving, Len. Hope you and the family have a great and memorable one.
Really like today’s image, man. The colors and composition are outstanding. So nicely processed.

These are majestic trees (I remember them from our trip round California back in ’92, we had a great day in Yosemite looking at Half Dome and El Cap). You’ve found the ideal POV to show this wonderful specimen and its dizzying height. Fantastic shot, Len. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you. I echo your comments about the blogging community – What a great bunch of folk I’ve found, including your good self.

Great POV to highlight the majesty (and enormity) of these fantastic specimens – makes the view seem insignificant by comparison, which I believe is truly the case. Happy Thanksgiving, Len.

Great post Len, the light on the tree top is great and the texture in that bark wonderful.

Wonderful shot Len. My wife and I visited this area a couple of years ago. It is hard to believe how huge those trees are out there. I hope that you and yours have a happy Thanksgiving!
