... on a gloomy day.
My wife and I went for a short walk to Blakiston Falls yesterday, September 8. In 2017, a wildfire swept through most of Waterton. Here.
Fire is part of the long-term biological process in our forests. The poplar-pine-spruce-fir forests have evolved with fires. A couple of these photos show on key point: pine trees, along with shrubs, perennials and poplars, are first to grow again after a fire. Pine cones are tight and fire "pops" the cones enabling the seeds to germinate.
It is not "pretty" but a natural way of our forest.
