Sunday Stills: Landscapes ( Fall Foliage)
The Tamarack or Larix laricina are peak this week here in Minnesota. They are a deciduous evergreen. They like the northern climate. Their needles turn gold and fall off, so they look dead all winter, but next spring they will turn green again with a whole new set of needles. Check out more Fall Landscapes at Sunday Stills:)

ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I had no idea evergreen turned colour...:-))
ReplyDeleteLovely picture. I love the reflection of the sun intensifying the color in the trees. :)
ReplyDeleteLike how the light hits the top of the trees!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo.
ReplyDeleteI see we did it - yesterday on the way to the small town I stopped a few times for Mom to take pics -- I found these after I dropped her off --- I knew someday we would catch the same opportunity! They are beautiful....
ReplyDeleteEVERgreens that are not ever green? Never knew that before. How interesting. Do they also shed cones, too?
ReplyDeletePretty photo. :)

I love road shots! this is of no exception! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way tamarack light up the dark forest, especially with the sun behind them. Good photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a typical Minnesota road but in fall foliage. I have yet to see your state in the fall. I use to always have to return and get back to school. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteLisa, Perhaps I should have said that it is a deciduous tree that looks like an evergreen. I believe that all the cones are shed too..just not every year..every other year I believe.. and the cones are tiny..:)
ReplyDeleteLove how you've captured them in that golden moment. We have Bald Cypress along the river here that are conifers that are deciduous, too. I think these kind of trees are very primitive and evolved way before evergreens.
