There was an interesting phenomena out there on that day. There were clouds spaced well apart, and so once they darkened the land, if you'd look through the burnt trees when the sun started to come back out, you'd see this spreading area of light approaching you very quickly through the trees. The ground was being lit up, like a flood of light approaching you. Very interesting.
When riding along a burned area you should be looking for Lady Slippers in the coming week or two. A little blurry but this one is moving along nicely.
