Over the weekend, my oldest daughter was participating in the California All-State band and we had to go pick her up. The event was in Fresno, which is about 1 1/2 hours from Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Parks. So we were able to get the last room in the lodge up near the big trees. We headed down Sunday to pick her up and after the afternoon concert headed up into the mountains in the middle of the snow. The evening and next morning were wonderful with the kids playing in the falling snow.
We went to visit the 2nd largest tree in the world - the General Grant Sequoia. As you can imagine, it is nigh unto impossible to convey just how big these trees are. This shot doesn't really try to convey it, but hopefully gives you a feeling of the beauty there.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
