I swear every day I live in some kind of fantasy fairytale land up here in Eureka, CA along the Redwood Coast in northern California. This is literally the city park. I mean, deep redwoods, 10 minutes away from everyone’s house. It’s like stepping into another world. I keep expecting to see some Big Bad Wolf step out from behind a giant tree. That being said, there are indeed bears. They just don’t talk. As an artist, I can tell you that I am blessed with an overabundance of photo reference. Ha! #RedwoodCoast #Redwoods #artistlife

@Coreyartus@mindly.social That is so, so beautiful! My older brother used to live up by Eureka, and he said that one of the most incredible things about it too. I've never been, but maybe one day!

@Coreyartus@mindly.social Nice! Our cool wild city parks are mostly chaparral down here in SD county.

@Coreyartus@mindly.social yes! As someone that came from deep suburbia (a totally uniform subdivision built on a cornfield), I really appreciate the nature of the PNW. Our house is new but was built to accommodate the trees around us so I feel like I wake up in a forest every day.

Can't tell you how much I wanted to live in Humboldt County when I was in California. Unfortunately I only got to live in the Bay Area, and then in a city near Stockton when the former got too elite and expensive. There were... no natural areas in Tracy.
