From the archives and not yet posted, here’s an image I created from my short walk in Redwood Regional Forest a couple months ago. I really adore way the path is compact and carpeted with leaves and branches from the big redwoods. It’s so pretty there! Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday!
Redwood Regional Park
The other day I visited Redwood Regional Park in my hometown of Oakland, California. I’ll bet a lot of you are surprised to hear there are forests of redwoods in Oakland. There are actually quite a few groves of redwood trees in California, and while this little-known redwood forest doesn’t have the giant redwoods, it’s a beautiful grove for hiking, walking or even swimming as there is a pool complex here as well.
Here is more information on this beautiful park in case you’re interested: Redwood Regional Park. And wow! This is my 500th post!!

The other day we went to Redwood Regional Park in Oakland and it was a beautiful, warm day. The dense redwoods provided a nice cover from the sun as we meandered through the forest. Most people don’t realize Oakland has such beauty. It has the perfect climate, a fantastic location, and the parks in the hills are absolutely gorgeous.
As we were walking around, I took some pictures of the redwoods but this grouping of pine cones caught my eye. I thought to myself…how can I present this differently than just a straight up shot. I love experimenting to create artful images and Photoshop really is like a “digital paintbrush” to me. Hope you enjoy this bit of the forest!
