Respect

Another damp day; but only a light drizzle at lunchtime so I ventured out to stand under these redwood trees which grow near to my office.  These particular ones come from the area near to the Smith River in California.  Although tall and beautiful they are only babies - planted in the 1960s they have plenty more growing to do.  There is something hugely peaceful and awe inspiring about these trees.  I stood and looked up at their red trunks towering into the sky above me and enjoyed the silence which was only broken by the rain drops dripping from their branches.  I'd love to see them in their native setting.  Magical!
