Default Redwoods, Slugs, and Waterfalls
Took a 10-12 mile hike through Big Basin Redwoods State Park yesterday. The weather gave us a break between the storms that have been pounding the area. The storms themselves livened up this waterfall, Berry Creek Falls:

The mist in the air made for great light:

Sunlight Streaming Through Forest

The moisture brought out the banana slugs (great detail seen larger):

And of course, the sunset was pretty (also better seen larger):

Thanks for looking.
