Sequoia in the Fog, by Suprada on Flickr

At Sequoia National Park, in April, I was delighted to find snow. We timed it just right that it has stopped snowing, but the clouds and fog had not yet moved away.

Hiking on the General Sherman Tree trail, I was surprised to see the good number of visitors. Though the trail path was icy and slippery, people of all ages including some seniors were walking around oohing and aahing at the sight of the giant sequoias. The snow, the fog, the sun, the red giant trees, the atmosphere was just right!

At the General Sherman tree, I had to stand and stare in awe, along. And then out comes the camera…click..click…Then a reedy feminine voice behind me says “Are you done yet? I can’t wait here all day for you to move. I need to take photos also….”.

Ummm….there are only a handful of people, and its a huge tree, really…its the worlds largest tree in terms of density. Oh well, lets say I was speechless on so many different levels.

Oh well, what does one do other than move on and admire more of those giant trees in the prefect setting?
