Young Tamerack ConeThere is great wonder for me in witnessing a tree bare of leaves for six months begin to sprout soft needles and cones.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. The first one, the sun in the pines, touched something deep in me: timelessness? The inevitability that things will work out, nature will go on . . . And good old skunk cabbage. This would be the western variety; I’m used to the eastern skunk cabbage which is more purple in colour. Brings back memories of youth . . .

The tamaracks or mountain larches are very interesting in how they lose their needles for the winter. I love it when they change their colours from green into fiery orange in the fall.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the smell of skunk cabbage, and even skunks. I find it stimulating.
