The summer dry season has arrived in British Columbia, and with it, forest fires. The Venables Fire of late summer 2003 burned 7636 ha (nearly 19000 acres). These trembling (quaking) aspen were a few of the victims. Three years later, the blistered, burnt sienna bark still clings to the dead trees in places.
