June 2003 Fire, addendum

Here's a picture taken on August 16th, about three weeks after the summer rains arrived. Most of the black ash has been washed away and the hillside has turned a vibrant green. All of the foreground and the right hand portion of the hill in the background had all been burned.



Pretty amazing recovery, although you can still see the effect of the fire on the lower branches of the trees and the yuccas will be gone until new ones replace them..
