Forest Floor In the West — Abstract Art by kenne
Almost 100 fires and complexes are burning over one million acres across the United States. Thousands of wildland firefighters
and support personnel are assigned to incidents. To date, 34,411 wildfires have burned 2,255,218 million acres.
Now more than ever, we need your help to prevent wildfires. When you work and play in our precious public forests,
parks and rangelands, it is critical for you to be fire safe. Have spark arresters on equipment and vehicles like chain saws,
motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. Exhaust systems on any vehicle can easily ignite vegetation, so drive and park in
designated areas keeping off and away from dry grass and brush. Taking these simple steps can keep our natural resources
from going up in smoke. — National Interagency Fire Center

Clearing The Forest Floor (Santa Catalina Mountains) — Images by kenne
The Forest Service tries to mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfire by actively managing the landscape and its fuels. By increasing the spacing between trees and bushes and removing dead and fallen vegetation, we can create a better chance for healthy trees and plants to withstand a wildfire. The above photos show work done by stacking dead and small vegetation that become part of controlled burns in the Santa Catalina Mountains.

Fall Leaves After A Morning Rain On Mount Lemmon — Images in HD by kenne
there’s a dry cold air
remaining after a dawn rain
in the high desert mountains
not cold enough to snow
yet cold enough
to send a chill
throughout your body
the morning sunrise guides light
inside the dark forest
just ahead of a morning jogger
following a trail
forming a seam
across the forest floor
carpeted with leaves
of red and gold
dotted with raindrops
appearing to jump
as the returning light
glimmers through
each temporary dome
soon to disappear
beneath a winter blanket of snow

Many times we do not need a different way of thinking but rather a different way of seeing.

“Mountain Forest Floor” — Image by kenne
As a child, I spent many a hot summer day in pine thickets of the southern Appalachian Mountains.
They were sacred places where I could build my own world, be alone or invite in friends.
Today, I try to return to nature’s shines as often a possible.
Mountain forest floor
Spawns enlightenment under
Ponderosa shade.
