Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) male in the mixed woods of the aspen parkland region north of Thorhild, Alberta, Canada. The unusual colour pattern in this bird was very attractive and made it quite noticeable among the other males.

Perhaps not the best picture you will ever see of a pine marten but this has taken me ages to get this far, from trail cam to an actual shot at night with flash, now to see how much better I can get!

Pine
A pine is any conifer tree or shrub in the genus Pinus (/'pa?n?s/)[1] of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae.
World Flora Online accepts 187 species names of pines as current, with additional synonyms, making it the largest family among the conifers.[2] The American Conifer Society (ACS) and the Royal Horticultural Society accept 121 species. Pines are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere; they occupy large areas of boreal forest, but are found in many habitats, including the Mediterranean Basin.
The timber from pine trees is called "pine"; it is one of the more extensively used types of timber. There are currently 818 named cultivars (or trinomials) recognized by the ACS.[3] It is a well-known type of Christmas tree.
Description
Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees (or, rarely, shrubs) growing 3–80 metres (10–260 feet) tall, with the majority of species reaching 15–45 m (50–150 ft) tall.[4] The smallest are Siberian dwarf pine and Potosi pinyon, and the tallest is an 81.8 m (268 ft) tall ponderosa pine located in southern Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.[4]
Ancient Pinus longaeva, California, United States
Pines are long lived and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more. The longest-lived is the Great Basin bristlecone pine (P. longaeva). One individual of this species, dubbed "Methuselah", is one of the world's oldest living organisms at around 4,800 years old. This tree can be found in the White Mountains of California.[5] An older tree, now cut down, was dated at 4,900 years old.[6][7] It was discovered in a grove beneath Wheeler Peak and it is now known as "Prometheus" after the Greek immortal.[7]
The spiral growth of branches, needles, and cones scales are arranged in Fibonacci number ratios.[8][9] The new spring shoots are sometimes called "candles"; they are covered in brown or whitish bud scales and point upward at first, then later turn green and spread outward. These "candles" offer foresters a means to evaluate soil fertility and vigour of the trees.

Clearing up my 2012 shots. In this series, the Pine Grosbeaks were feeding off the dirt/sand/gravel (may have some salt) from the road. There were no seeds on the ground. I concentrated mostly on the males with their lovely red colour, and even attempted a few flight shots. The flight shots all failed miserably as the lighting was pretty crappy. The featured shot was captured at ground level, just like what I typically do with shorebirds. Enjoy!
Thanks everyone for helping this one make Explore!
I was sitting at my desk, bored, and grabbed my new 70-300mm lens. I pointed it toward the Coulter Pine out my window. I loaded it with a bunch of negative space, and snapped. I did not like it, until I converted it to sepia, then, it came alive. I am so glad you agree!

Cheeky little Pine Marten after me nuts! Taken on our bird feeding table whilst on holiday in West Scotland.
my favourite white pine on the island
Taken using my mom's first camera, given to her by her oldest brother when she graduated from high school.
It was this uncle (the family photographer) that got me further interested in photography and helped me set up a print box darkroom when I was 12.
His knowledge along with my parents letting me use the family cameras was fundamental in my lifelong hobby of film photography.
This Kodak Baby Brownie Special - is special to me!
