On a Super Moon night reflecting in the water with the silhouette of the little pine trees at Shaver Lake was very special! The “bark-beetled” trees in the background are nice for color, but years later made unimaginable kindling for the Creek Fire. The little trees in the foreground Rock stood as strong as they could….

This tiny tree dressed in brand new snow, all lit up for Christmas was the view outside my kitchen window… until the Creek Fire. Now this tree and all the others along side it are gone; including my kitchen window. Im so glad I have the photo to remind me that God’s, love still shines brightly in my heart!

What was once the forest became Charcoal Trees after the Creek Fire and yet, the colors of the sunset coming through are as beautiful as ever. The Creek Fire did it’s worst but God does His best and makes all things beautiful in it’s time.

Dinkey Creek Bridge

Dinkey Creek Bridge

Sierra Nat’l Forest

The single span, wooden truss Dinkey Creek Bridge was named not for its builder but for the creek which is named for the DOG, Dinkey who valiantly fought off a bear, giving his owners time to save themselves.

The Dinkey Creek Bridge held men and animals alike from 1938 to 2023 when the weight of “Snow-mageden” brought it down. Now, bureaucracy and building costs make it impossible to rebuild.
