Where Time Seems to Slow Down

 

Once again, the season has arrived - the one I eagerly await each year. There’s nothing quite like gathering around a crackling fire nestled in a serene redwood forest during the Fall.  As we sat there with Laydee, the warmth of the flames danced before us, casting flickering shadows on the trees. It was a moment of tranquility, a perfect embrace of nature’s beauty.

Last month we enjoyed glamping in a 1969 vintage airstream trailer, which was a perfect way to spend a few days and nights enjoying the season.  Nestled in a peaceful grove of Redwoods, with its sprawling 6 acres of complete privacy was a hidden gem. 

Autumn doesn’t seem like a "fancy season." This is likely because we can never duplicate or create anything as stunning and magnificent as the Fall season -  the beautiful trees adorned for the bounty of fall.

Redwood trees are classified as evergreen rather than deciduous since they retain their needle-like leaves throughout the year. However, simply being present in a redwood forest creates an autumn atmosphere with the refreshing chill of the woods and the dampness of the coastal fog. 

Large ferns thrive next to and under redwood trees.

A peaceful haven where time seems to slow down - it's a place that invites relaxation and reflection. I can genuinely see myself living here, embraced by the forest.
