Redwood Grove

Today I took a nice walk through the Redwood Grove. Apparently California redwoods grow better in New Zealand than in California, so there are some pretty big ones here. The Grove is only 100 years old, but some of the trees are already 6 feet in diameter. It will take a bit to catch up to the old trees in the US, but it is still wonderful to walk through a forest that is thick with redwoods, as well as silver fern and gulley fern while the cicadas sing away.
