Larches at lonesome Lake

[Mohamed Ellozy]

A few days ago, on another forum, the subject of larches changing color came up. That reminded me that there is a fine collection of larches on the northern and western shores of Lonesome Lake. Today I was in the mood for a short hike, so up to Lonesome Lake I went.

I went round the lake (counterclockwise) taking lots of photos. I was a bit disappointed in the color ... they were all a rather washed out yellow. Still a pleasant contrast from the more common types of foliage.

Here is one larch:

A few more here.

Anyone want to share their larch photos?

Love larches...they actually may peak a bit later, and the color may not be all the way in yet. Pondicherry is a go to larch place!

Thanks for posting these Mohamed. We were obviously looking at them last week and were totally oblivious. Beautiful trees.
