Conifers ID Northern Indiana

[KODAK]

I don't know my coniferous trees very well I admit.  So I have to two trees two images each. Would like to learn more about them. So what are they?

[Wattwood]

I'll go out on a limb a bit and suggest that from the form the first one looks like Norway spruce, picea abies, and the second is mostly a guess- scotch pine, pines sylvestris. Close ups of the needles would help. Both could have been typical yard trees for that vintage of house. Rob

I hope Danny @WDH comes along with a much more educated guess than mine.
The first photos I think are some variety of spruce.
The last photos I think are of a red pine.
Personally I have never seen a scotch pine that straight.

Not sure about the first one.  Not enough detail to determine the options.

The second one, the pine, looks like red pine to me too. 

[KODAK]

Thanks! I'll get better up close photos.

The first one seems too sparsely leafed to be spruce.  Seems more like tamarack or such.

I've seen some scotch pine that has nice form. In fact, you have to look up to the tops of the trees in mature ones because they look like a red pine down low. But up high, they have that peeling, scaly orange bark. As far as the OP, I have no idea what he has there, not enough to go by in the pictures.

I have scotch here. They are straight [also dying]. Red pine does better up north. The 'spruce' tree will have potato chip bark if it is norway spruce.

I thought that tamarack lost its needles in the late fall or early winter.
Would the needles be back by 5/14 in Northern IN?
Maybe KODAK could tell us if it sheds its needles part of the year.
