Sequoia Homage1

 Sequoia trees are native in only a few places worldwide. One of those is in Yosemite California, where several groves of these huge, beautiful and ancient trees occur. They are the dominant life form in the forest. One called the Grizzly Giant is 209 ft. tall, 92 ft. at it's base and the bark is 2 ft. thick! It began life around 200 a.d. Dogwood and azaelia grow in the sequoia groves, offering a soft, delicate, white contrast in spring, and red leaves in autumn. The forest is a beautiful enty into another world.
