Are you still there?

We were on our way back, returning on the Coastal Trail, when an elk walked out of the woods and turned up the trail in front of us. We were quiet but she knew we were there - she'd walk a few hundred feet then stop and look back to see if we were still there. We were enjoying being this close so much that it took a while to think of looking back. Sure enough, there were more elk back there, following us up the trail!

The classic redwoods shot.
We made a loop out of Fern Canyon, the Friendship Ridge Trail, the West Ridge Trail, and the Coastal Trail.
BIG trees, wildflowers (tiger lilies!), elk, and the seashore all in one hike.

A fantastic stretch of coast along Northern California. The massive American Redwood forests is what can be seen in the background. This area has a very similar feel to the Otways and Great Ocean Road in Australia.

Right-angle Elk

A study of the elk face and antlers. The poor things look like they're starving - well, maybe not :^)
I said turn right! Stupid elk!

Driving the elk is hard - they never listen.

Redwoods HDR

Green, so much green!
A forest is another difficult capture for our little point-and-shoot camera. There's so much dynamic range.
This is an HDR attempt to show what it really looks like on the trail. It's not perfect, but it's not too bad :^)
Tree Hugger

We had to go back to "The Big Tree" to get a photo (this isn't the one). While I was setting up the tripod, a family came walking up and the little boy went up and hugged the tree. The father and mother smiled and the father said "Tree Hugger". It seemed like this had happened before... and like a photo op :^)
Fern Canyon

Part of "The Lost World" was filmed in Fern Canyon, and it's easy to see why when you're in there. It looks like it might have been exactly the same for a few million years.
A "blue shirt for scale" would have been lost among all those greens - good thing Mrs M went for red that morning!
