While the broadleaf trees have almost all dropped their leaves, we still have the coniferous tamaracks to go. There are a few in the nearby park. I take a few shots every year although when I look back they are all very similar.
There are two in this first photo; the nearer one has dropped many needles but the farther one on the other side of the pond remains full.
I think this is the one on the other side of the pond from a different vantage point.
This tree sits at the far end of the pond, but it is still green so far this year, so we look back to previous years. The colour temperature of the day affects how the tree looks. I like the orangey tint of the first photo.
Fabulous photos of the tamaracks. I do hope Sue is feeling better, what a scary way to spend 10 + hours!
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteIt wasn't until a few years ago that I figured out the Tamaracks changed color! Duh! Those trees fascinate me now. Here they are grow in large clumps and it is startling to see them as you drive down the roads.
ReplyDeleteColor where you don't expect it!
Beautiful reflections and colors!
I haven’t realized this for very long.
DeleteI wondered if tamaracks are the same as larches and found that they seem to be.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours of your trees and the reflections are wonderful.
I probably should have said.
DeleteGreat reflections. Nice colour. I have a field of them. I may even post the result of my phone shot. If I can get it to stop moving. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to find a nce grove someday. I saw some in the field near walmart, but they are at some distance, and it really isn’t a great place to stop.
DeleteI used to love all the reds better but in recent years I've really gravitates to the yellows and golds. They just brighten everything. Lovely images, all.
ReplyDeleteYellow/gold was all thatI saw at the sugar camp, but the occasional red stands out nicely.
DeleteThese are great shots of pretty trees and reflections. I vote for number 2. Oh, voting is tomorrow...well, here at least.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t love it at first, perhaps because it is very close to the composition that I have taken previously. But the park is close so that is where I go to shoot the same shots.
DeleteBeautiful shots of the tamaracks. Serenity!
ReplyDeleteI like that streak of yellow in the midst of all those brown trees.
ReplyDeleteThere is a grove of tamarack just past my lane on the slope heading down to the creek. I always think of my late neighbour when they are in full glow. He loved those trees at the head of his lane.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they are a fine sight.
DeleteI had not heard of tamaracks until you wrote about them. I've never seen one. You have some beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to see some someday. They are quite unique.
DeleteWhat a wonderful yellow and this reflection in the lake...
ReplyDeleteit brings joy.
Kind regards to you.
ps we also have larches in the forest.
I should have mentioned that that are also known as larches.
DeleteWe don't have tamaracks - oh, I see they are also called larches so maybe we do! But those are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is in deed my favorite one. What a great composition
ReplyDeleteI like the orangey one too.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. In the 3rd photo, the bright color against the bare tree behind makes it look like the tree in the foreground is on fire, if you don't look too closely. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI saw tamaracks here today and the needles are gone. You're lucky to still have some of the bright yellow.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I too prefer the orange cast, not being a fan of yellow. I'm not sure we have those trees or if we do, I've never heard their name.
