But the good thing up there is after the burn, the fireweed bloom brightly and makes me smile.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978371169108528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-29225773773591360362010-08-30T21:51:12.334+10:002010-08-30T21:51:12.334+10:00Hi Sharon,

We have fires every year, but we have never had a disaster when so many have perished.<br />It is in the news again too because The Royal Commission tasked with investigating the causes and the best way to protect people in the future has just handed down its reccomendations.<br /><br />Hi VR,<br />Tragic is the word. Very much a reminder, and some of these trees may still be standing as tombstones in 30 or 40 years.<br /><br />Hi Locksmith,<br />(sorry I don’t know your name) Thank you!<br /><br />Hi Theresa,<br />Hope indeed, and the Aussie bush is certainly good at coming back from a fire.<br />I recall Jackee posting about that. Fortunately I believe no one was hurt there.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-48845970868644000352010-08-28T22:48:01.064+10:002010-08-28T22:48:01.064+10:00Viewing the destruction upon nature left in the af...Viewing the destruction upon nature left in the aftermath of a fire is startling and sad. My husband and I mountain biked in Eastern Long Island through pines that had been devastated by fire just months before. But already new life was popping up.

Hi...Hi Hannah,<br />The loss of trees is certainly sad.<br /><br />Hi Alyssa,<br />I did enjoy the drive, thank you.<br /><br />Hi Jayne,<br />Heartbreaking is right, it is ridge after ridge. I guess the positive is that eventually it will come good.<br /><br />Hi Jaydee,<br />There is a stark beauty of the trees against the skyline.<br />Snow almost never happens down in the low country (even this far south) so although our higher mountains have snow every winter, it is still a novelty.<br /><br /><br />Hi Michelle, <br />Thank you.<br /><br />Hi Indigo,<br />They are starkly beautiful aren’t they?<br /><br />Hi Jennifer,<br />It was terrible. So many touched, we know people who lost everything. Worse still is Deb’s school had children who lost their parents in the fires.<br />Nature will bounce back, but it will be 20+ years before parts of these forests are approaching something like their normal state.<br /><br />Hi Jemi,<br />The Oz bush is the best at coming back, in fact some species won’t even germinate until after a fire.<br /><br /> Hi Myrna,<br />Thank you.<br /><br />Hi Tasha,<br />Thank you, that is exactly what I felt.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-9703686763691311192010-08-26T12:39:08.040+10:002010-08-26T12:39:08.040+10:00Sometimes pictures speak for themselves; I could d...Sometimes pictures speak for themselves; I could definitely get a sense of ghosts from these.Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-61145548250980830742010-08-26T06:00:36.516+10:002010-08-26T06:00:36.516+10:00That's terrible, but your words and pictures a...That's terrible, but your words and pictures are beautiful.Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-32142307095407913072010-08-26T05:28:18.195+10:002010-08-26T05:28:18.195+10:00Burned forests are sad - yet hopeful too when you ...Burned forests are sad - yet hopeful too when you can see evidence of new growth.Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-23665570995390577102010-08-26T01:00:42.834+10:002010-08-26T01:00:42.834+10:00What a terrible thing to happen.
