Tamaracks are our only conifer to shed their leaves in the winter. They have lacy needles and turn yellow later than most hardwoods. So all along the road, the green Spruces were mixed with glowing yellow Tamaracks:

They livened up what would otherwise have been a landscape of merely green and brown:

Even the Papillons were impressed:

Tamaracks tend to like wet spots and indeed, that's where they were concentrated:

We walked around the open field and did not enter the woods:

Wally and Madeline stayed pretty close to the car. Winky did also - as you can see by his little head peeking out next to the car's front bumper:

I gave a call for the dogs to return:

They all collected back at the car. I got them loaded back inside and we continued on our way home from the farm:
