Most visitors to the magnificent Coastal Redwoods, Sequoia sempervirens, of Muir Woods spend their time gazing upwards. Not surprising in this open air cathedral, its living columns the kings of trees, born in the time of Christ. Besides a sore neck however, they risk totally missing the beauty at their feet. Being a lover of tiny marvels, I spotted this little secret garden nestling between two logs. The Sorrel reminds me of the twenty years I lived in Northern Ireland. Small, damp, but exceedingly beautiful.
