#larch

This time a group pet portrait for the very kind VH, thank you so much for this! I really enjoy making these, it's a fun challenge to balance the color palette and compositions with so many different kitties!

David Hampton of Hampton Lumber created the design by planting a mix of Douglas fir and Larch during a reforestation of the area. Larch trees are conifers with needles that yellow and drop in autumn, and they make up the body of the face. Douglas fir makes up the eyes and mouth. The smiley face should return each fall for the next 30-50 years, until the trees are ready to be harvested for lumber.

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

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.
