Ferns
Ferns are part of the understory of the forest - those plants that grow beneath the canopy of pines and sequoias. In Mountain Home, some species of ferns stand several feet tall.

A burned Sequoia stump provides the dark background for this backlit pine.

Dogwood Beneath the Genesis Tree
The Genesis Tree is quite possibly one of the most massive sequoia in existence. Some say the third largest, some the seventh. Who knows? Views: 84
The Genesis Tree lies just outside the boundary of Mountain Home, in Sequoia National Forest. It's not easy to find, as it is not marked on the official Mountain Home map, and even some Mountain Home forest managers have never heard of it (I'll take you there on next year's trip!).

Sequoia Base - Dusk
I made this photograph about 9 p.m., in near darkness. With the help of a tripod, my camera had no problem seeing and recording the soft light filtering into the forest.

Sequoias
These three sequoias are part of perhaps 5,000 of the Big Trees found within the boundaries of Mountain Home. Relatively few people visit this portion of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, east of the San Joaquin town of Porterville. Views: 86
These trees - sequoia giganteum - can live for more than 2,000 years and reach heights of 200 feet and more. (They are a separate species but in the same family as their redwood cousins - sequoia sempervirens - on the coast of California.) No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form.
