Before I moved to the Gunflint Trail, I’m not sure I could have even identified a Tamarack. Or known why they called Larch Creek, Larch Creek.

This time of year, I can’t take my eyes off of them..especially when the October sky is so blue and they are such a unique yellow. I wish I could capture them, or better yet, I wish you could see them. I wonder if there is a crayon color called Tamarack?
