#Larch

[jadafitch]

In the eastern part of their range, Columbia silk moth caterpillars hatch from tiny eggs, laid on hackmatack (aka tamarack, aka eastern larch) trees. This deciduous conifer, common in the northeast, is the primary food source for these caterpillars. After their cocooned over-winter transformation to a moth, they no longer eat or drink. They’ve only got a couple of weeks on the wing to find a mate, and lay eggs on another larch. Late may to early July is the best time of the year to spot one of these large moths, as well as their cousins, cecropia and luna moth. So double check the side of your house if you forget to turn off the outside light this week.

Romantic wintery antique kimono, depicting tachi-tsubaki (camellia tree with branches rising to the sky) over a ground of karamatsu (stylized larch).

Camellia are evergreen and are not supposed to loose their leaves, this pattern with branches barren but for flowers is pretty unusual!

It had been blawin' a hoolie for 24 hours or more, with dense, driving Scotch mist smothering and drenching the wild west Highland landscape in its usual manner in these conditions, so rather than expose himself and his assistant unnecessarily to the battering elements, Algy decided to share this re-worked "blast from the past", for it would look exactly the same if he asked his assistant to photograph him being blasted in that old larch tree today…

As some of his most longstanding tumblr friends may recall, in the past Algy had decided that as there was no light to speak of anyway, he would maintain his cool and defy the gale by wearing his sunglasses, for they could hardly make his vision any dimmer on such a day. But unfortunately the weather paid very little attention to his protest, then as now, and simply continued to rush and roar…

As he contemplated the only-too-familiar scene yet again, Algy sighed and repeated:

O wind, why do you never rest Wandering, whistling to and fro, Bringing rain out of the west, From the dim north bringing snow?

[Algy is repeating the short poem O Wind, Why do you Never Rest by the 19th century English poet Christina Rossetti
