Trail Junction, Redwood Forest and Ferns. Muir Woods National Monument, California. March 8, 2009. © Copyright 2009 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A bed of ferns grows at a trail junction under deep redwood forest cover at Muir Woods National Monument.
This photograph was made in the late winter of 2009, during that time of the year when the redwood forest is still very wet and cool, but when flowers are blooming and spring is clearly on the way. The location is along the very popular (and often quite busy) main trail along the creek through the central part of the park. No doubt I had to wait a bit for the combination of these beams of light and no other visitors on the trail!
