To the Rescue

to-the-rescue

A few weeks ago when I was in a local open space, fire trucks and and ambulances were in the parking lot and along the street.  Someone hiking had passed out or had been injured – I never found out the whole story.  The park was not closed, so in I went.  I heard the noise of a helicopter nearby.  Deep in the canyon below came this medivac helicopter, a small craft capable of navigating in narrow canyons.  It moved so quickly I was lucky to get this shot.

This was taken a few weeks ago while out on a hike through the local backcountry.  Spring is fading away, and wildfires are already beginning to rear their flames.  The plants here are more lush than they have been in some time – we had a bit of rain!
