The Human Child in it’s wild habitat

Even with a tele-photo lens, the action was still too fast to catch.

Here the kids have decided to make a raft.  The problem was getting the sticks across the river.  They tied a rope to the bridge above, where I am, and floated them across in bundles.  They made the raft, which promptly sank, according to Wyatt.

Ten years after the fires, there are still burned stumps, but things have grown back nicely.
