I have returned from my trip to the Emerald Triangle. It was beautiful beyond words. I snapped a bit a photos but only a handful are worth passing on. I am only so camera savvy.
A friend and I had gone up to Arcata for a bit to stroll around the Redwoods park behind Humboldt State University. There are quite a number of hiking trails and a really nice day park once you reach the top of the first trail.
We encountered many different types of mushrooms/fungi growing off the trees. There was even this odd bright yellow dripping fungi that was falling off an overturned stump. I caught a picture but it didn’t come out that well.
There were also these neat carvings that, I am assuming, students from over the years carved into the stump of a large redwood behind HSU.
Its really hard to grasp how large and green the trees in this area are until you’ve actually been there. Its surreal.
Nature is interesting. Being the origin of everything, you can expect fantastic art as well.
I will be returning to the forest in about a week and a half. I’m very excited to go back, I’ll admit that I already miss it. This time, however, I won’t be returning home. I’m sure that Humboldt will make a nice new home.
**I have found some lovely sources of interest but I feel like I have inadequately researched those topics and will write soon on some other things the Emerald Triangle has to offer. “)
