After the Fire

This is the area of the Rough Fire that ravaged through Kings Canyon National Park in California last year. It burned over 150,000 acres of land and churned out a large amount of smoke. There were many days when we were told the air was unhealthy to breath.

 

They just opened this part of the park back up and I took off to check it out. I was amazed at the amount of damage the fire caused, but also by the beauty that nature has put in its place. The wildflowers had taken over the mountainsides where there used to be trees. It was really a wonderful sight to see. Mother Nature is taking care of herself.
