Ruby-red sun, a sure sign of forest fire smoke
The lake water surface, coated with forest fire ash
The above pictures are of forest fire signs quite close to my camp.
The first time I have had to "flee" because of fire.
I left in mid-July (above) and came back in mid-August (below).
The following pictures are of areas through which I travelled to get out before they were burned.
They are sites where I have camped or portaged in the past, including when I came in May.
Within a few weeks, some plant life, like this alder, already re-growing.
