tiny bits of color in a pale blue sky
this is the tamarack tree. the latin name is larix laricina.
in spring and summer, the tamarack resembles an evergreen. in winter, its branches are bare. in autumn, the tamarack’s needles turn golden before they fall to the ground.
this color change seems to happen overnight. one day, there it is, right in front of me! a tree that’s flecked with gold.
Ooooo… I don’t think I’ve seen this tree before… such lovely star-like golden blooms. This was a big treat to see… Can’t help but smiler over all that gold… *sigh*… Happy Days, Elizabeth ((HUGS))
So many lovely changes the tamarack goes through .Your images are gorgeous! The golden flecked branches against the blue sky-stunning.

Tracy: I think they tend to grow in wet soil. Wherever I see one, there is a swamp or a lake or water either right there or nearby.
Deb: Thank you! I love the soft feel of them.
Tammy: Hahahahaha! You know how sometimes you’ll say a word a few times and it sounds all wrong? Maybe it’s a little like that.
Victoria: Mmmmm. What a compliment, considering YOUR dreamy images! Thank you.
