snow in the redwoods




we had a fantastic coastal storm last night, went on for hours, dropped hail and snow, lit up the sky and shook the house, made the roads a mess but the forest where I go walking absolutely perfect. especially the smell of it all, the crispness of the air sharpening the mixed scents of bay, redwood, pine, and oak, everything dripping and misting, crunching about atop the normally muted padding of forest floor.
nothing makes me happy like a good rousing storm makes me happy, and if every morning was like this one, my journey to someday being a permanent morning person would be a lot less painful…
Those pictures are gorgeous.
