Description

Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy..

In September 2013 Reno had been covered in smoke for weeks due to a huge fire burning near Yosemite in CA. One early morning as the Sun was rising over the Sierras I briefly stepped outside with my camera and even though the smoke was terrible, this little sparrow was on the edge of an evergreen tree limb proudly singing a song. It inspired me so I had to capture the moment...

The Rim Fire was the third largest wildfire in California's history, having burned 257,314 acres. It is also the largest wildfire on record in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The fire was caused by a hunter's illegal fire that got out of control, and was named for its proximity to the Rim of the World vista point, a scenic overlook on Highway 120 leading up to Yosemite.
The fire was fully contained after a nine-week firefighting battle, but more than a year passed before it was officially declared out, at a cost of more than $127 million dollars.
