Them rangers love to torch these woods.
Torched pines create a nice field of red.
The fire cuts back that gnarly palmetto. Let something else get some sun.
Wildflowers are always good for a click.
Good thing it's been a dry spring or I never would have gotten through here.
Aw, sweet, sweet dragon fly
I accept the need for controlled burns, but worry about the critters. And their homes.
ReplyDeleteLove your dragon fly photo.
Fluffy yellow flowers, beautiful reflections in the water AND a dragonfly all in one post. Wow! Thanks for sharing. PS The palmetto looks sharply dangerous. Is it invasive or does it belong there?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is a necessary evil.
ReplyDeletePoor trees. Though, they still do look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello, lovely sereies. I love the trees and the reflections and a great dragonfly capture. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat's always my thought, what about the critters when they conduct the controlled burns??? They're doing a lot of them near me.
ReplyDeleteooooh those controlled burns, seems there are so many here at the shore, down by the pine barrens!! i am simple minded but i don't understand why we can't just let things happen naturally.....
ReplyDeleteawesome capture of the dragonfly!!!
I remember seeing tons of dead trees at Yellowstone one year- I think wildfires..which have to be super scary to live near. They don't control burn here where I live..that I know of.
ReplyDeleteGreat dragon fly, Mac.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a young 'un, they hadn't figured out the benefits of controlled burn vs. fighting it until a wildfire broke out.

It will regenerate and look good once again.
ReplyDeleteAwwww......like the dragonfly and the reflection and oh heck I like them all.
