Yesterday the fire department was
doing controlled burns outside of town and there was smoke in the air which
left some people concerned not knowing about the controlled burns. Which
reminded me that I had some photos on my phone that I had taken two weeks ago
when I was traveling through the burn zone of the Goodwin fire. It has now been
almost 3 months since the fire and we had a significant amount of rain between mid-July
to early-September and it is amazing to see how the area has already begun re-growing
rapidly, which led to the controlled burns.
These pictures are from
the main area of the fire and while you can still see the burned trees and
bushes you can see how quickly the prairie grass and some of the smaller bushes
have really flourished.
I was going to make
these wallet card pictures but I didn’t want to hold the card outside the
window to take the pictures while we were moving.
