February in Santa Cruz, California

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park--the perfect place for a winter walk near the Central Coast of California. This is a great getaway for exercise, contemplation, prayer, and quiet--experiences I need often. I'm grateful for the opportunities to hang out in this forest of ancient redwoods, moss, and fields of clover. Nature is the best antidote to stress. Thank you, God, for this gift.
