Zaca fire ~ Two years later

It has been a little over two years since the Zaca fire burned approximately 240,207 acres in Santa Barbara, making it the largest fire in Santa Barbara county’s history and the second largest fire in California’s history.  It took Fire Fighters a whole two months to get this fire contained and sporadically during that time the westerly winds would cover Santa Barbara in ash.  Growing up in New York it’s no surprise that this was new to me (and my parents as well who called quite frequently).  So as a nature lover, I thought it would be fun to check out what new growth was sprouting up.  It is an amazing site, the new green brush and trees amongst black charred tree trunks.
