The “Boo!” tree, 30 November 2017 and 20 October 2020

Bye bye boo tree
Category: Dog walks
A road, sort of.
It rained last night. A lot.
When I first started dog walking with Syd, he told me this area would fill with water in the winter. I found it hard to believe in the middle of the summer!
There must be a reason.
But of course! 50 meters from the road, leave two red cabinet doors leaning against a tree. Kids? But why?
Burned
After the fires: it will be interesting to revisit this view in a few months. Our guess is that the tree front right will not survive, but that most of the others – because they still have some green needles, even if they don’t look healthy in the photo – might be OK.
When I grow old, I shall
pull a lame dog on a sandy trail in a bicycle trailer. Because why not.
Walking into wildfire – video
Surreal: walking into the wildfire a week ago.
Green returns
After a bit of rain, the patches spared by the recent fire have become greener than ever.
After the fire: strange
It’s fascinating walking our normal dog walk route and noticing the changes – and anomalies – since the fires. Here the plastic part of a broom – in a burned area – is neither charred nor melted, while the wooden handle – extending into an unburned area – is completely burned.
I guess it’s possible someone moved it since the fire two days ago, but we’ve seen no one the last few days, nor any signs of activity other than firefighting in a very few places.
Still smoldering
Monday’s fire persists, but only in a few stumps and with no apparent further danger of spreading.
