Look what I found

I walk in a local National Trust Reserve pretty much everyday, but I always walk the same route. Today I decided to park in a different car park and walk the complete opposite direction and I'm really glad I did. My normal route is a mostly deciduous forest with a couple of pines and a handful of Yew thrown in, but at the other side was mostly fir and pines.




After I'd been walking for about an hour, I started to climb a hill above a stream, as it started to level out I could see a small clearing in the distance. That's where I found this monster:


After looking it up when I got home, apparently the guy who owned the land planted this Giant Sequoia back in the 1800s in the middle of nowhere and now we're left with this beast. I've never seen anything like it. Truly amazing.

This week tried my hand at timelapse photography. Now I am battling with the processing of 600 images. Hm.. Forgot about that.

Anyway. The view was nice for a few hours.

Man, that is AWESOME. I would love to stand under that tree!
First branch about 5 foot diameter? (don't know how big your dog is)

She's only a border terrier, so she's pretty small. But the first branch is 4 - 5 ft diameter

Monster indeed! A new path

I thought you`d shaved your deadlocked beasts!

Great find! It pays to stray from the regular path!

Haha, no this was part of 'work'. Being a dog walker and dog trainer has its perks

Dude that's huge!
