Life gets BUSY
A Limpkin is BUSY looking for food beneath the algae bloom while her chick follows close behind hoping to be fed.
Life takes twists and turns and one thing after another happens then you realize a month has past and it is time to get blogging again.
I’m hopping back in the groove where I left off, which is in Central Florida with my nature and wildlife photographs.
Hopefully it won’t be long before I get around to visiting everyone’s sites and see what you all have been up to!

The TRADITION/HISTORY prescribed burn in Florida
Prescribed burn of under brush in Florida has a HISTORY
A couple posts ago was about WEATHER and how this is the dry season in Florida which is also known as fire season
http://pcphotoblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/weather/
Bicycling in Lake Kissimmee State Park in Florida the took the reality of controlled burns to a new level. Brush fires are dangerous and scary as well as necessary for the management of undeveloped land.
Prescribed burning is not ”setting fire to the woods” to let them burn as our ancestors may have done decades or centuries ago, although they often did so for some of the same reasons we do today. Rather it is the planned and deliberate use of controlled fire to achieve land management objectives

WEATHER
Winter is the dry season in Florida which in WEATHER speak means that it rains just not much or often.
This year there is a 7 inch rain deficit that has just rolled the dry season into fire season.
It doesn’t take much for a controlled burn to get out of hand.
Fortunately this fire was not one that became out of control for days.
