autumn colors
New England for the fall show of colors, it was a great trip. We rode the RR from Spokane to St Paul, MN and then went to Boston and then Portland, Maine and rented a car. The trees they were a changin. But it rained buckets of cats and dogs. The trip back got us home in time to enjoy the cottonwoods and Western Larch show near home.
The Western Larch or tamarack is the only deciduous conifer. They lose the tiny leaves/needles each fall to save moisture over the winter. The golden needles are not only beautiful on the tree each fall but when they fall from the trees a golden carpet is spread on the ground for all to enjoy until the arrival of the white stuff.
Many folks look forward to the golden cottonwoods along our western streams each year and the mountain ridges lined with larch trees shedding their needles. Maybe this is why the call it the Golden West. Not everyone can find a strike in the western mountains but with less effort and more success you can strike it rich every autumn in the West.
