A while back i started doing chapter/year title pages to start each year's collection. Normally i would start with this year's but for reasons i am not allowed to disclose i cannot at this time. So here's a sketch of a pine Ent. If you don't know what an Ent is..hah! Like anyone here on Flickr doesn't know what an Ent is!
This longleaf pine has been worked by red-cockaded woodpeckers. The bore into the tree to get resin to flow down the bark, making it hard for snakes to climb. The also bore nesting cavities. No woodpeckers seemed to be in the area when I walked through.
Pine Lake - Central Plateau Conservation Area, Tasmania
Pine Lake is easily accessible via a 400m boardwalk, located on the Highland Lakes Road (A5) about 33km south of Deloraine.
The Pine Lake walk offers a rare opportunity to get close to one of Tasmania’s rarest trees without having to go on an extended bushwalk. The pencil pine is an ancient species that evolved before flowering plants and which is only found in the Tasmanian highlands.
Many of the Tasmanian conifers are unique to Tasmania. The pencil pine (Athrotaxis cupressoides), is generally restricted to sub-alpine areas above 800m. Like its relative, the King Billy pine, it can reach ages greater than 1200 years. Pencil pines are often seen around the shores of highland lakes and tarns, creating the unique ambience of these beautiful areas of Tasmania.
The Central Plateau of Tasmania is the largest area of high ground in Tasmania. It is bound to the north east by the Great Western Tiers, a large number of hydro electric schemes emanating from rivers that flow to the south - and to the west by Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
There are many Pine Warblers at my son's house. They nest in the woods on the property. I think most of the Pines I saw were resident birds that nested there.
*Somehow* I have 377 pictures from a road trip to Chicago & Wisconsin that I took with a friend in May 2013... that never got posted.

Pine seed with embryo removed. The megagametophyte provides the nutrition for the embryo when it grows into a seedling as the seed germinates. I'm not sure what species it is, but probably some Chinese pine (commercially sold "pine nuts" from the grocery store).
Immature male Pine Grosbeak Pinicola enucleator resting a few moments before continuing towards the north in Bergen, western Norway.
This shot was taken along a walking path in Chicago's Lincoln Park. I was practicing with depth of field, and feel that this shot pretty accurately portrays it.
This little I think, Pine Warbler was hanging out with the Gold and House Finches, at my back yard Thistle seed feeder
