Yesterday happened to be a beautiful sunny 72 degree January day (apologies to my Chicago and East coast folks :D). A perfect day to explore the outdoors. The historic Muir Woods National Monument was our destination. A bonus was that MLK day happens to be one of the park's few free entrance days. "Majestic" is the word I used to describe these coastal redwoods, relatives of the sequoias located further north. The trees commanded silence - tranquility. Visitors were speaking in various languages, yet all respected the unspoken "rule" of the forest, naturally walking along the paths and trails whispering- admiring God's creation in awe.

| This tree is dated to have been "birthed" in 900 AD. It fell in 1930. |

Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
That is gorgeous!
