Early spring, March 26’th 2021 The charred skeleton of a dead white-tailed deer lies exposed by the fire that recently burned away the dried grasses in which it had been hidden. 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.
