Franklin's favorite...

My nephew finally got to see the last fire photos. He sent me a text and said, "This is my favorite". So I had to include it here. (It was "one" of my favorites, too!)

[DawnLouise]

Wow - terrific and sad at the same time

[John Falconer]

The fire element took me by surprise like it did a lot of others. Congratulations.

[GaryW]

@pea Thanks, Paula! Actually this was a "prescribed fire", set on purpose and "managed" by my nephew and others. I never felt in any danger.

[GaryW]

@not_left_handed Thanks, Dawn. Not sad, at all! This was a "prescribed burn" to help remove brush and pine straw from the forest floor to minimize accidental and significant burns. The trees were perfectly safe...as was I!

[GaryW]

@johnfalconer Thanks, John!

[Paula C]

@thewatersphotos ahh OK that's good to hear :)
