Suzanne with Serious Umbrella

Model Suzanne taken in Santa Monica Mountains, California. Fires have passed through many times leaving some areas barren of vegetation. That's why the Pacific Coast Hwy is always closed for mudslides in malibu where there are towering cliffsalong this main coastal road.

The trees were scortched with black stumps all over the forest. The rocks were all multi-colored in reds, browns, oranges, etc., from the fire retardent the planes sprayed over the canyons. New life does grow back and flourish if it gets the chance.
