Purple trees
Watercolour

2003 was a terrible year for fires in British Columbia, but
the endless miles of burned trees now have a beautiful silvered mauve patina – at least
that’s the way they look to those of us who see purple trees wherever we go…
Almost all the trees in the Kootenay Valley are part of this ethereal forest,
with occasional survivors and some brand new growth along the ridges and in the
gullies.
