It’s that time of year again! I believe the gold colored trees in this picture are western larch trees. I had thought that they were tamaracks but apparently the tamaracks are in the northeast part of the province. The western larch is considered a deciduous conifer so the needles turn yellow before dropping off in the fall. I consider it a privilege to see them because they are this color only for a short time in the year.

The picture was taken from Highway 33 in British Columbia’s southern interior. This is my new favorite road for avoiding traffic and still being able to see amazing scenery: rivers, creeks, valleys, meadows, mountains, flowers (in season) and lots of trees. If I’m lucky, I might even see deer.

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Psalm 32:8 (NLT)
