Larch flowers

On my walks in the forest I have seen many a larch; they are not uncommon here in The Netherlands.

Somehow, I always missed seeing one in bloom until a few days ago. The flowers are surprisingly pretty, sitting on the old, lychen-covered branches. Here are the photos, without further comment:

Thanks for watching!
