here’s how it happened.
we took a hike to redwood gulch, right off highway 1, which ribbons
through big sur. stu was fighting a cold
and after a quick perusal of the area, he and bailey retired back to the car, granting
me permission to “take my time”.
ha – sweeter words were never spoken! in the middle of a redwood gulch, with no
other looky-loos present, ideal temperatures, sun filtering through the trees
and time on my side? this, my friends,
is a recipe for bliss!
and it didn’t’ take long for me to find the magical place….
i climbed up a wee bit higher than what had been advised in the hiking book and
was well-rewarded for my efforts because there was a magical pool.
now i could try to describe the clarity of the water, the
redwood needles floating in it and the dripping drops sending off ripples in
all directions…. but i prefer showing to telling.
still breathing it in as i look back at these pics....
Patty, these are extraordinary photos -such rich colors, so warm and lovely. I almost can smell the wonderful forest scent.
ReplyDeleteOh! Patty! What a magical pool. I feel like I am there. So glad you found it and shared it with us. I can almost picture tiny faeries hiding in the trees, delighting in your enjoyment of their special spot.
ReplyDeletethese are awesome...what a magical place you found!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite, Patty. I don't know how we can ever describe anything so beautiful and pure. Haven't been around for ages, but have posted a couple of times so come have a visit. I have blog candy. Missed you. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteWow! You make me want to quilt that pool of water. You are so inspirational.
