While walking the mile up Red Creek toward Paradise Lake, it occurs to me that something here has changed since last year...
It's not apparent at first glance, but the brush fire here a year ago demolished a ceanothus grove that provided a bit of shade on the road. The small green plants are probably post-fire shrub regrowth.
