Muir Woods

IMG_0123

On our way back into San Francisco we stopped at Muir Woods.

This was a suggestion from skoots1mom and I am so glad that we took her advice. One of the park guides told us that some of the trees date from as young as 200 years old to as old as nearly 1000 years old.

There are moments when you experience God’s creation is such a powerful way that the only thing you can say is WOW!

Words simply fail to adequately describe the experience of walking through those ancient redwoods surrounded by thick lush fern and the deep green mossy carpet blanketing the ground.

It was like being transported back to a magical forest filed with fairy tale creatures.

Muir Woods-1 10-09-2009

Here is a five minute video of our time in Muir Woods, if you watch until the end there will be a very sweet and unexpected surprise, how cool is God!

I have to confess that these last four pictures did not come from my camera. It was so late in the afternoon when we arrived at Muir Woods that the dense foliage and late afternoon sun did not make for optimum picture taking conditions.

I was lucky and found these four pictures on the internet.

God is awesome in all He does!

I have to think that if His creation here on earth is this amazing I can not even imagine how beautiful heaven will be!

I've never seen the great Redwoods, but I'd really love to someday. I think I.T. and I will eventually make it out that way to visit Pilgrim and we will all go see these grand trees. I love trees. You got some good shots here. I'm coming back to view the video, I don't have time right now to wait for it to load- duty is calling.

So happy for you that you got to have this vacation! I know you'll figure out the photo album stuff, you're so good with the computer and stuff it can do. I've learned a think or two from you in that dept.

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
