Muir Woods National Monument, USA

Moving on to North America. This gorgeous card is from a swap with Katie in the USA earlier this year. The main point of this card was actually the cherry blossom stamps, but I really like the card itself, too.

Muir Woods National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service on the Pacific coast of southwestern Marin County, California, 19 km north of San Francisco and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It protects 224 ha, of which 97 ha are old growth Coast Redwood forests, one of a few such stands remaining in the San Francisco Bay Area.
