5 yr anniversary of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire. I caught this shot driving out to Big Basin SP earlier this week to commemorate the fire recovery. This time, it was (lifting) fog, not smoke.

California Redwoods near Big Basin. Such a fine moss hairdo.

Visited #BigBasin redwood forest w Beth. I hadn't been since the CZU fire had burnt 98% of the forest. It was very sad to see the devastation. Also so inspiring to see the resilience and new green growth. 1000s of year old trees surviving near death. Resiliance! (costumes by monicacanilao)

This photo is from yesterday's hike at Big Basin state park, on Middle Ridge fire road. The park was burned very badly in 2020 and is recovering; the young redwoods look like bottle brushes because the trunks are much more fire resistant than the branches. #hiking #photography #redwoods #BigBasin
