Across the Pond
Two distinct biomes across the pond - one, recovery and rebirth after a wildfire in 2010, (see the 'bleached bones' of the dead spruce) the other has been undisturbed by wildfire, but is a tangle on toppled and bent trees from a powerful wind storm a couple of years ago.
Recent rains have filled this pond to the brim, completely flooding an island that attracts water nesting birds... and perhaps their nests were destroyed, as sometimes happens on this pond.
All natural events, destruction and regeneration.
