The Yosemite region is beautiful even after a fire. Here the mist is settling in amongst the bare trees, the undergrowth showing healthy signs of life anew.
This truly is a fantastic shot, Jenn., with its mood of fantasy. Really scrumptious. I visited Mt. St. Helen's a few years after it blew, and was equally heartened by the renewal of the forest floor there. I do love this photo.
it is sad and yet it is good too.
