August 3-5, 2013: Photos from a visit to Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco, as well as photos from along the Pacific coast south of Big Sur, California.

I came upon this in Muir Woods, California. I love the 3D-like quality of this image. The "spider pods" as I've named them are like little explosions of energy waiting to unleash itself upon the world! Kind of how I feel when taking photos of nature.
