We are going to begin with an idyllic image of a park near me, a live oak shading a park bench: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/live+oak+and+bench.jpg.html Now we are going back to Bastrop, TX where a large fire destroyed much of the surrounding area. Our friends in California will appreciate what forest fires can do: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/fallen+burnt+pine+Bastrop.jpg.html a close up of the capricious nature of fire: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/burnt+log+surviving+wood.jpg.html An example that heartwood can remain even though the tree has burned around it: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/heartwood+and+fire.jpg.html And a closer look at how heartwood resists fire: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/heartwood+remains.jpg.html all the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
