Fire Update - 6 months later
Six months after the wildfires of 2007, I took some photos of how the landscape is recovering. Yesterday we went hiking at the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve east of Poway, and saw significant evidence of the huge Witch Fire. (The largest red area on that map)
Most of the grassland had re-grown but the trees that survived the fire were black and dead. As you can see from these photos, greenery is finally returning to the trees, a stark contrast to the blackened trunks. It was chilling to see trees with green foliage on top and black, leafless branches below.
