Nice pics. Its great to stop and smell the roses once in a while, eh! To many people the bush is just green and brown...

Larch are one of my two favorite trees. Love them this time of the year. Technically though, they are the only 'conifer' to lose their needles...ie. a deciduous conifer tree. Evergreen is a much misapplied term.

ps: M16... shame on you. (dang, where's that finger wagging smiley when you need it?!)

Actually, the bald cypress also loses its green stuff every winter.

Tamaracs are really golden around the house today. I am about 45 minutes wet of Duluth-where are you in MN?

On that you are correct. And so does the Dawn Redwood. When it comes to trees I have trouble thinking south of the 49th.

Ive never even seen a corn feeder.

Having grown up in Pennsylvania, those photos remind me of hunting season back home.

Now in Virginia, hunting season starts with leaves still in green...

thanks for the pics - brought be back to the good ol' days.
