Rob Elder had made several tries to find the old-growth Redwood tree known as the McCabe Tree. On his third attempt his wife Jacquelynn Bass accompanied him. With her help he found the big tree. Jackie's photo was awarded Best alongside the river (macro). The McCabe tree is possibly the largest old-growth Redwood in Sonoma County. It measures 47 feet, eight inches in circumference. Amazing.

To be overlooking the mouth of the Gualala River when it opens for the first time in months in the fall is extremely lucky. To get a photograph is even better. Bob Rutemoeller won Best River mouth photo with this shot:

Thanks to Jackie and Bob for sharing their photos with us here.

Named the McCabe Tree, this old growth Redwood is difficult to find. It sits on private land so perhaps you should just enjoy Rob Elder's photo. Rob and Jackie Baas recently made the trek to find this beautiful tree.

Here you will see Jackie in front of this tree. They can live for several thousands of year and they are to be cherished. Tomorrow I will show you a photo of one near our property that was sparred the loggers' axes because it grew twisted.

Thanks to Rob for sharing his photo with us here.
