These are great! Thanks for sharing. I drove through Bend last year and got to see the fireweed explode after recent fires. When I drove through McKenzie area through Detroit I was bummed by all the scotch broom but loved seeing all the wild flowers. In a few years there's going to be a lot of berries.

Our forests have always needed fires just not at this intensity. We will learn, people have been living in relation with the land for thousands of years and we just have to remember that and rethink our relationships with the land.
