Crisp golden leaves lay like a blanket on the forest floor. Startled birds shot from the empty branches like a bullet, as twigs snapped and leaves crunched under my feet.

Suddenly, the girl saw a wide hole in the ground. ''That's strange.'' she whispered. The girl walked over to the hole and stared into it. As she got up, she tripped over

Consider the redwood tree for a long moment. The tree that holds an ancient background. Dating back to same time as the dinosaurs. The humongous coniferous tree lined with reddish brown bark that is defiant to pests, rot, and fire. Its breathtaking beauty defines the concept of time.
