In the foreground, a burned chunk of wood lies below the winter look of a Mule's Ears plant. The big leaves are yellowy-white , still in a cluster but weathered to skeletons, which allow them to show out with the sun above and behind them. The grassy hill rolls upward to the dancing shapes of pines and oaks in the distance against a bright blue November.

Some more saved up sunshine...but y'all might be able to go find your own in NorCal. This storm is finally ending! #carrfirerecovery #nature #winter 🌱

In the foreground, a skirt of fallen yellow leaves on the resting blanket of dried yellow grasses surrounds the upward reaching branches of a Western redbud, still sporting a few orange and yellow heart-shaped leaves against a crisp blue November sky. In the background, graceful gray pines and black oaks march along the ridgetop.

Need some sun? I saved you some. Western Redbud, Gray Pine, Black Oak all contributing to rehabilitation efforts after the #carrfire raged through here in 2018. #nature #carrfirerecovery
