Big Trees

Sequoia Trunk - Calaveras County  2011
Dogwood Leaves - Calaveras County  2011

The town of Arnold is very close to the state of California's Calaveras Big Trees State Park.

Mike has found that the sequoia trees found there are difficult to photograph. Hard to show their particular massive quality . . . pointing the camera up doesn't seem to help. We will have to think on this.

Nice dogwood leaves in the gathering dusk.

Perhaps showing something next to the tree (ie. human) will help to show the scale.

Sure.

Next time I go there I'm going to ask at the visitor center for the best view spots (for photos).
