Been a while since I posted here... life's been busy! I thought you California people would find this image interesting, along with the story on my blog: the rebirth.
The flowers are going nuts in the burned area from last years wildfires!
A very striking contrast here, Floris. Great colors throughout. An amazing regeneration taking place in what seems like an extremely short amount of time since the fires. I've been back to Yellowstone a few times since the original major fire there, and although the regrowth is tremendous the damage is still very noticeable to this day all these many years later. Overall, we as mankind during the cycle of life get to see the quick growth take place, but the long term recovery usually takes several generations or more to really heal the big foliage.
Nice to see you made it into the back yard again. I was up there when you were in White Sands and I mostly only saw yellow and purple but the wildflower lady has found a lot more colors out there. If this was recent then the flowers should hang until the end of June.
Floris,
Nice to see you posting here. Its always interesting to see how you use the lines in the trees to form your compositions. Nicely done. Best Regards.
The bounce-back from fire is amazing. Too bad the planet does not bounce back from many man-made disasters quite that fast.

It is truly amazing the regeneration that takes place in a fire area. Fire, when not allowed to burn out of control, is necessary for the health of our forests, grasslands and brush fields. The continued encroachment by humans into the wildland is one of many factors contributing to the size of today's fires and the devastation we see to both man made improvements and the wildland. Well seen Floris
