It's always sad to see the dead trees from the burn. What I find amazing is that the very next year all of the plants start to regrow under the dead trees and often surviving pine nuts will start to grow tiny trees. Fires are just part of the life cycle in the mountains, and the resulting dead trees do have a majesty and beauty of their own.
I like the waterfall and the snow capped peaks in the background, really pretty!
Nature always finds a way to turn the page, and rejuvenate. It's the cycle of life, and there is beauty in every step of the journey. Thanks for visiting.
