1100

At the bottom in the middle of the star trees.

Today I went to the star trees. For two reasons first I needed a new place to do a nature observation at a new place that is not at the millstream. I also decided to go because the star trees are a type of red wood (they are called Giant sequoias). Anyway I was feeling super home sick and there are many similar looking redwood trees in northern California where I am from so it was comforting for me to see these trees. As I sit under these trees I am astounded by their height. It’s surprising that they have become so tall in such a restively short time. I am interested to see how much they will grow in the future.
