Early spring, March 25’th 2021 The jawbone of a dead white-tailed deer lies exposed in the ashes having been revealed by fire. The landscape has been through a much needed and controlled burn. The fire-controlled vegetation of this oak savanna has been prepared for a new season of growth. The smell of charred earth counterpoints the choir of migratory birds singing in the canopy of the ridgeline. The slopes of the ridges echo their joyous chorus. This alien landscape of brown and black will be flush with diverse and vibrant life soon.
