FROM THE ASHES...

ONE YEAR AGO THIS MONTH, THIS AREA WAS DEVISTATED BY A FAST MOVING BRUSH FIRE, ALMOST ALL THE HOMES WERE DESTROYED, LEAVING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ABANDONED. ALL THAT REMAINS ARE THE REMNANTS OF THE BURNED DOWN STRUCTURES. HOWEVER, I DROVE THRU THIS CANYON JUST YESTERDAY, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE WILD FLOWERS GROWING AND IN FULL BLOOM EVERYWHERE, RE-POPULATING AND BEAUTIFYING THE AREA, FROM OUT OF THE ASHES!
