Pine Cone on Scorched Earth Surrounded by Pine Needles and Fallen Leaves

Pine Cone on Scorched Earth Surrounded by Pine Needles and Fallen Leaves

This photo shows a pine cone on scorched earth surrounded by pine needles and other fallen leaves. It appears that new growth of grape vines and oaks is occurring through the burnt earth as indicated by the contrasting green leaves. The leaves with serrated edges are those of grape vines, and the narrow leaves are those of oaks.
