The Larch in Season

The Larch might be seen as an evergreen tree, but it drops its needles each fall.  Native to the taiga, widespread although not the most common tree, the fall brings the change of color from green to brilliant yellow and then it's over until next year.  This larch has been cut to two feet because it is under the powerline.  The larch can be over thirty feet tall.  The first snow of the season is today, about two inches.
