Thoughtful image, well seen. There is always hope when flowers bloom in areas of destruction.

Michele, what a powerfully beautiful image of New Life... the stark balance of the charred textured wood and the gloriously blooming arrow-leaf balsam-root is simply stunning. Great composition, and a truly memorable work of art! F/L

This is really beautiful Michele. I love the contrast between the rich yellow and the black coals.

I lived in Corvallis in the 90's, and loved the state of OR. Bend was a favorite. I like the life & death contrast of this close-up, Michele. f/l
