I recently spent 10 days exploring Northern California, magnetized by every patch of Redwood trees I saw. This wasn't my first trip to the area and it won't prove to be my last, either. There's something especially magnificent Redwood trees. The limits of their growth are widely still unknown, but at their recorded tallest height (379 feet), the Giant Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) family includes the tallest trees on Earth.
Although I've been home for a couple of days now from the trip, I'm still finding myself at the mercy of web searches related to these trees. An admittedly semi-mindless YouTube trolling session this evening brought me to this well-shot and knowledgeable video focusing on Albino Redwoods. These special trees baffle scientists. All I can think is... I wish I'd made a point to check out these ghost-like trees in person. If you'll be in Redwood territory soon, take note.
