Controlled Burns

Walking through a couple of our local forest preserves last week, The Hubbs and I lucked into some interesting scenery.  Apparently, this is the time of year to do controlled burns in order to rejuvenate the landscape.

I also have to admit that I was surprised by the amount of wildlife we saw during the burn.  Here are a few of my favorite pics from the day...enjoy!









Oh, and don't forget: these are mine.  I'm very possessive, and the promise to poop on your foot if you steal them is very real.  Very real, indeed.


'Til next time,

    How close were you guys to the actual fires? Did the smoke bother either of you guys?

      One of them was about 20-25 feet from the trail in places. Fortunately, it didn't bug us, and it was a small enough area of the trail that we were able to get past it rather quickly. Well, those of us who weren't rooting around in the bushes trying to take pictures, that is. :)
