Another Brush Fire

Hullo again... Yep... a report from another brush fire location. This one happened on July 4 and we are now visiting it three months later... just to check up on things. This one was a super scary fire and came right up to the fences of people's yard. Again... likely caused by a homeless camp.

There is a little pond here, which is beary pretty.

This arbutus tree managed to keep a few leaves up at the top.

 But this poplars look pretty crispy... until...

You look down at the base!!! Do you see that? They are putting out new shoots... and there are all sorts of little green plants coming up.

Even the blackberries are putting out new shoots. It is beary hard to keep a good blackberry plant down!

 The grass here is quite tall already...

And even some of the hawthorne bushes that look pretty dead are putting out new leaves along the branches.

Although... I did find some victims of the fire... R.I.P. little snails.

There are some bigger trees that didn't fare so well...

But everywhere else... I see new greens coming up.

 Even some little oak trees! Nature is a pretty magnificent thing!
