Sempervirens

Sequoia, girl, your eight feet palmar flexion creases chokes the fog around you. Having the thickest skin and run miles and miles from NorCal to SoCal. Your tallness and redness can be seen from miles and miles away, even in the thickest heaviest fog. I cherished you as a child. I hugged you. I have mourned you. I am always reminded, there is no other tree in the world that could put me in much awe as you. When I walk into your redwoods, I know I am in a place of gracefulness. A place of reflection. A place to fill a room.

Sequoia Sempervirens, also known as, California Redwood is one of the most awe eye dropping trees!! They are amazing and I photographed these beauties up and down the coast along HWY 1 (Pacific Coast). Big Sur is also beautiful and a place I always love to go to tackle down my creative writing as a writer (poetry). Hwy 1 is also gorgeous. It is something very special about this place. I biked it and it is considered one of the most dangerous roads to bike. The bike shop was very concerned about me biking alone. However, I knew and told myself over in my head, you got this! I literally biked Big Sur; I did it! I can take it off my bucket list and I am looking forward to doing it again.

I will never start this far again, but please believe, I was in beast mode.
This was tough, but I never stopped. It was other bikers and they were rooting me on. One of the best days of my life!
