Burned Trees

They finally opened Black Forest Regional Park; much of it burned in last year's wildfire and it took a long time to make the trails safe. Here's a shot of a couple of burned trees. I've got more to post from this walk. (Click on the Wildfire link to see more from that fire.)

    I am having a hard time watching the news on the Washington fires. So difficult for everyone involved.

    I like trees better living.

    The fires destroyed much, but not the beauty of the sky! Will these trees sprout new leaves next spring?

    I'm saddened by the wildfires and the destruction they lay to waste… although new growth arises. Your photo is magnificent.
