Evergreens

I like Spring for many reasons and I was reminded of one of those reasons yesterday as I was running around doing errands.

At this time of the year as Spruce, Pine and even Larch are putting on new growth, the trees look as if they have just come from the hairdresser and had some tints put in their hair. You see the light green on the new candles darkening to the mid to dark green of the older growth. How gorgeous is that! In the case of the Larch, it is all new growth but what really attracts me to the Larch is the strawberry looking cones (colour and size) that begin to show a little later in the season.

Everything is so new and fresh and the colours are so vivid. What a wonderful time of the year!
