New Beginnings

Another shot from our bushwalk on Thursday. This area of the bush was burnt rather badly and yet there is still the beginnings of regeneration.

The undergrowth has completely gone, but in a few weeks it will be back.

I was amazed to see how quickly the Aussie Bush regenerates after fire... great shot..

[Wylie]

that's terrific Babs, always good to see the regeneration after a fire.

[Denise Wood]

Lets hope it gets back to it's glory :)

[Sally Ings]

It's amazing how nature seems to recover after devastating fires. I know that some of our natural fynbos and Proteas need fire to help their seeds germinate.

[Joyce]

So wonderful the way nature recovers. I like this shot it shows so well the destruction and the regeneration.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful, so great to see 'new beginnings' after the fires.

[Eve Pulsater]

Gosh! It almost looks like Selective colouring with that green amidst the blackened stems.

[Rachel]

Amazing how the Australian bush regenerates so quickly. Great shot.

[sally agnew]

Great find Babs, I guess fire is ultimately good for regeneration :)

[Nova]

Great to see the new growth start so quickly.

[Taffy]

This is really dramatic.

[bkb in the city]

Another nice shot

[Colin Fawsett]

Lovely capture

[Paula W]

Hard to believe this will all change in a matter of weeks, it looks so final! A dramatic shot.

[Gayle Sears]

I love new beginnings. Nice shot.

[Barb Newcomb]

Great find and shot. Was this fire done on purpose, or by mistake?

[Barb Newcomb]

@beachdog I just read the one from yesterday - controlled burn! Seek and ye shall find!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

How sad to see all the burning but so nice to see some new life. Great shot.

[Lois]

Nature is amazing! Beautiful shot of life! Fav

I will have to go back in a couple of months and take another photo to show how quickly the bushland comes back to life.

Here is a photo I took at the end of 2013. the two photos were at the same spot taken two months apart. The bottom one shows how quickly the bush comes back to life. http://365project.org/onewing/365/2013-12-30

Always encouraging to see new growth after a devastating fire!

[Elaine]

It's amazing how nature regenerates. There is also a beauty in the burnt trees.

I love how fire affected areas are so beautiful in destruction.
