After The Fires
Last year we had some hellacious wildfires up here in the high deserts of California. Over 100,000 acres were burnt and we're just now getting some new growth.
Here's a pic of a lucky Creosote bush that survived the burn -
We didn''t get nearly the rainfall this winter that we need to spur a spring bloom. Looks like it might be another draught/hot summer. I bet fire season (which starts next month) is going to be a doozy.
Still, there is lot's of great exploring and camping to be had in the desert, just watch those camp fires!
