Redwood National and State Parks roads and trails generally remain open to visitors. This sign is from the Kuchel Visitor Center area, which has been closed during the shutdown. Learn more about the park at https://www.nps.gov/redw/index.htm and about changes to visitor services at https://www.doi.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2025-09/doi-nps-lapse-plan2025930508.pdf and https://www.parks.ca.gov/ and #nps #nationalparks #ocean #publiclands #photography #landscapephotography #coast #pacific #redwood Image credit Kurt Angersbach / Westernlabs #california #state #federal #shutdown #interpretation #park #parks #travel

Redwood National and State Parks remain wonderful places to visit even during the current government shutdown. The NPS contingency plan provides detailed information regarding changes to visitor services, however, generally speaking, the roads and trails remain open, even as the visitor centers and associated parking areas are closed. This sign is from the access road to the Kuchel Visitor Center, which has been closed during the shutdown. That said, the surrounding areas are open and parking is available. Hope this helps you if you are planning a visit. (Sign on a red and white gate, with a road trailing off behind, all under a blue sky.)

A sunny walk yesterday in Redwood National and State Parks following a bit of rain and so we came across several interesting scenes including this white fungus, which is about three inches tall. Difficult to photograph as the light is generally low, but very pretty mixed together with other forest plants and detritus. Looks like it may be Fairy Fingers...

REDWOOD - Cloud Colony [FULL ALBUM] 2025 **including lyrics**

Does every tree on this count as a tree I painted? If so I've like tripped the amount of trees I've painted in the last few weeks.

But how else do you communicate the size of a redwood properly?

I really think that chipmunks are fantastic little animals. I'm not sure why, maybe because of how cute they are.
I like the background in this image. I chose a wide aperture for this image to blur the background that happened to be a large redwood. I just thought that the contrast between big and small was fitting for this.

Chipper

Imagine standing quietly in a forest where the air is cool and earthy, and the towering redwoods stretch skyward like ancient sentinels. In the foreground, perched confidently on a burl is a chipmunk. She’s small, with a sleek body and a bushy tail curled slightly behind her. Her fur is a warm blend of browns and soft grays, with delicate stripes running down her back like brushstrokes.
She’s alert, eyes wide and glistening, as if caught mid-thought or mid-adventure. The background is softly blurred, a deliberate choice that makes the chipmunk pop visually while hinting at the massive redwood behind her. That contrast—tiny creature, monumental tree—evokes a sense of wonder and scale.

Shared a poptart (kid's 1st, and my 1st in 25+ years) inside a beautiful ancient redwood that was originally hollowed out by a lightning strike. Someone recently caught it and nearby trees on fire, but she is resilient and still pushing out new growth. This was the view from inside.

A mixture of clouds, fog, sun, and strong surf in the coastal section of Redwood National and State Parks. The park is open, though visitors may find a number of changes to available services during the shutdown. This image shows waves from the Pacific Ocean rolling onto the coast at about 41 degrees north latitude. The sand is warm from the sunlight and the sound of the waves is simply incredible. This image shows a series of rock outcrops along the beach (right side). In the foreground, a black and silver outcrop with veins of white. Behind this, an outcrop of green and grey color. In the mist in the distance, a large outcrop of green, black, and white rock forms a point of land that is generally impassable except during periods of very low tides. Harbor seals could be seen in the surf while overhead, migrating birds were already on the move.

View of the sky from the tent entrance: redwood trees.

A couple of folks from the East Coast said "These trees are...not small."

West Coast response: "Actually, they kind of are..."

Beyond the box: How one Bay Area firm is redefining prefab with custom designed homes

https://www.rwcpulse.com/real-estate/2025/09/22/beyond-the-box-how-one-bay-area-firm-is-redefining-prefab-with-custom-designed-homes/?ref=ActivityPub

For decades, factory-built homes carried a stigma. People pictured boxy, cookie-cutter houses pulled from a catalog and churned out on an assembly line. CleverHomes is among a growing number of architects and builders proving otherwise, using modular construction as a way to create unique custom homes faster and with greater efficiency.

California Coastal Cleanup Day is today and National Public Lands Day is next Saturday (September 27). This image is from today along the coast-an item washed ashore with the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean in the background. The walk was most beautiful, despite the objective of cleaning up. The day started with rainbows, temperatures were warm, and the wind was calm. Thank you to everyone who gets out on such days and helps to restore and preserve public lands!

While mortgage rates havent had much effect on home prices since 2023, the chance of future rate cuts now has buyers moving faster as many look to lock in homes, worried prices could climb higher.
