Thanks Ed. This fire was the closest that a wildfire has gotten to me, so I knew I would have some opportunities to get different kinds of photos of new growth. I wanted to keep an eye in this section of forest and watch it come back. As the crow flies it's probably only 4 miles from me, or maybe 5. I drove by there the other day. The new growth on the trunks was very cool. I love Pitch Pines!

I tried to capture some similar photos the last time I was at Yellowstone, but unfortunately the black trunks caused me to overexpose the pale flowers growing among them. I didn't realize the problem until I saw the images at a larger scale after I had left the location. Ed "Oh, I call myself a scientist.
