Recently we had a devastating fire here which ravaged through the nature reserve, forests and destroyed 10 houses. I had not been to the nature reserve since this fire.
So today, I Went, driving in, it looked the same as always, lush and green grass with all the oak trees loosing their leaves in their autumn splendor. Such a pretty sight.
I put my back pack, armed with camera, juice and provisions (hee hee) and set off on a walk up the mountain.
I must say I wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted me...
Black as far as the eye could see.
I felt a bit sad walking up the mountain....but to see the new green shoots pushing to the surface, made me feel good, knowing there is hope after such devastation and knowing nature has a wonderful ability to self-heal. By Spring hopefully it will be looking a lot better!
see all the green shoots around me?
Anyway just wanted to share..I am off to read the latest copy of Country living...my favorite mag!! Enjoy your weekend!!

Wow...hate to see that but nature does have a way of healing itself and all of us as well. It's always amazing to me to see after a fire how much brighter and fresher it all comes back. We had wild fires a few years ago on the way to the beach and everything is thicker and so much more lucious now. Have a great weekend...I also enjoy Country Living magazine ;)
Sounds like an awesome place for a hike.
Happy blogoversary :)
