The Redwood forests of the Pacific Northwest. It was a camping journey, one to calm the mind and find peace before the major holiday season truly erupts in a fury of leather goods. My favorite spot to lay down the sleeping bag &#8211; a stretch of beach that roars with breaking waves, and backs right up to a major chunk of old growth forest. Taking this trip also meant coming back home after to a lot of catching up type of work. It was worth every second &#8211; and always is. So kick that fear about giving yourself a break, and go out and do it!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0020.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0020\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0043.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0043\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0061.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0061\" width=\"900\" height=\"531\" \/>Interestingly this shot above of elk was taken at night with moonlight only to light up the prairie.

Then, out of nowhere from around the bend came this adult black bear. Steadily making his way down the path&#8230;towards me. Must be nice for him having a pre-cut trail. I stayed long enough to snap a quick few shots before turning back and beating the bear to the parking lot.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0099.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0099\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0105.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0105\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0112.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0112\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0122.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0122\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0157.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0157\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0124.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0124\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0195.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0195\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0201.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0201\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0209.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0209\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0222.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0222\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0229.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0229\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0250.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0250\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0254.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0254\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0265.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0265\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/14-2342-post\/Redwoods14_0280.jpg\" alt=\"Redwoods14_0280\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/>And finally &#8211; a moon-rise above the forest.
