Spruce Tree with Cones

This looks like a Norway Spruce (Picea abies) . I like the texture and color of the cones. I see it on my bike rides on my trip around the neighborhood.

A Late Winter Hokku

 

Green spruce needles —

Cones shielding the seeds;

Deep blue winter sky.

I say "late" winter, because I live by the Natural Calendar, which shows the 8 landmarks, as the earth revolves around the sun. To understand this Natural Calendar, just go here:

The New Year begins on the Winter Solstice, as the sun returns from its migration south, giving us more warmth and sunlight, as it moves northward.
