The Larch



The larch. (aka : hackamatack). My favorite evergreen. So much so, that the first time I stood in this circle of larch I knew this was the spot to build my new house. 




It's a roque evergreen. After all the deciduous trees have flashed their colors and dropped their leaves, the larch defies the laws of 'evergreen' and follows suit. 




Maintaining some family resemblance, delicate marble sized cones coniferous-ly dot the branches,




which void of their needles resemble no one. 




The other evergreens will have all winter to dominate the gray. For this brief fall moment it's the larches turn.

Red Barren


Tree show is pretty much over, except for the deep golds of beech and oak. But the barrens ....




are busting out the reds.

Schoodic Point


Schoodic Point (the quiet Acadia) with views of Cadalliac Mountain in Acadia National Park,


and rock exploring,


 and wave watching. 



And hiking trails ...


with clever trail markers,


 and the perfect picnic spot, 


and color moments for fall knitting inspiration.
