Controlled burn at Jonathan Dickinson SP, FL
In case anyone is interested, here a few photos of the prescribed fire/controlled burn today (7 April 2015) at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Hobe Sound, FL:
View from the Hobe Mountain Observation Tower

GHalf on fire watch (does he seem to be looking the wrong way?)

Some of the many fire control personnel
View down the railroad tracks
I don't like to see the vegetation burn, but I guess it's gotta be done.
The fire didn't go near either of the campgrounds and it looks like the ponies were moved in advance of the fire (at least I HOPE they were).
Apologies for not re-sizing the photos. Please do not hit "quote" if you reply.
