A walk on the wild side ...

...  This morning, your intrepid explorer set off in the company of my wonderful hosts Lynn and Mr Joe and Nancie-Ann and her husband (they of the royal goats fame) on a walk through the tall trees, including some giant redwoods.  I was a little worried about meeting bears, snakes, etc, and sure enough, I did.

We walked through lots of these
just look at how tall they are.  Look too at the gorgeous colour of the trunks on these redwoods when the sun shines on them
 
We also literally walked through some of them, look
 
and I saw wild animals like squirrels, and this snake
and I saw these, although I'm not sure what they are
 
and finally, yes, I saw BEARS and I've lived to tell the tale

    I definitely want to see the Redwoods myself one day. It looks like you're having a good time here in the US.

    Whew - close call with that bear! And that snake looks quite vicious. Glad you're safe. I still need to visit the giant redwoods!

    Even though I now have it in writing that if anything happened to you I get your stash... I am really glad you survived and the bears didn't eat you! Hugs xx

    So glad you were able to see those big trees. I have never been there but understand it is an awesome experience. You are braver than I am taking a picture of a snake. I would have been running the other way. Enjoy! Stay safe!

    Have super great trip!!

    Awe the redwoods. My family is from Northern California and was fortunate enough to grow up around those beauties. You should see the wood when it is made into burl tables, clocks and the like. Enjoy reading about your adventures.
