When I was displaying the tamarack trees in their glorious autumn colour not so long ago, someone asked when the leaves would turn green again. Of course, they won't. Although they are coniferous trees, they also behave like deciduous ones, dropping their leaves in autumn and growing new ones when spring rolls around. I thought I should show this by returning to the park where I hoping to see the trees with reduced foliage and the nearby ground around littered with fallen needles.
LOL!!! I always ♥️ love your photos, including the selfies, and this series is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful series of tamarack trees and the stunning one of the snow scene. Of course there is the wonderful selfie to make me smile at the end!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Such great shots of the tamaracks! Love the selfie of you all too! Have a great day and maybe a nap sometime, Mr. Sleepless in Carlton Place!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, including that last one.
ReplyDeleteThe snowy scene really grabs me this morning!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to co.e here and be greeted with beautiful scenery and beautiful smiles. Your blog is a happy place.
ReplyDeleteThey have gone fast, but oh -- what a golden carpet. That snow scene is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteThe tamaracks in the snow are stunning. What a beautiful scene.
ReplyDeleteYou were terribly missed! I have not heard of tamarack trees until you posted about them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous yellow, love it lining the path. The snow photo is unreal, it's worthy of framing and on display!
ReplyDeleteLove the selfie! My street's maples are now leafless. Not a scenic look after their beautiful red and orange leafed splendor.
ReplyDeleteThe whiteout shot is one I love, bench and all. It has always amused me that my mother-in-law thought that tamarack were dead trees, not deciduous. When I explained, she was enchanted.
ReplyDeleteGlorious gold, there.
Hello to you both!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good shot of you both. Love the shot with the snow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful golden carpets!
ReplyDeleteA return visit like that beautifully reveals the quiet rhythm of the tamaracks, shedding their gold to rest before spring dresses them anew
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful pair!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I did pose the question.
Tamaracks are a completely different character.
ReplyDeleteThose last 2 pics, stunners! Glad to see your smiling faces again!
ReplyDeleteThat yellow path was beautiful and of course being named Dorothy made me think of the Wizard of Oz film. Nice to see you both once again.
ReplyDeleteLovely post. I always appreciate seeing how you notice the quiet shifts in the season, and the way you described the tamaracks settling into their rest feels true to how things have long been. Your photos capture that gentle fade so well.
