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).
Taken not only to match my previous upload. The bark of the Pine tree is in fact interesting. Meyer-Optik Görlitz Trioplan 100/2.8

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.
Utah is a state in the Western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th largest, the 34th most populous, and the 10th least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2,817,222 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City, leaving vast expanses of the state nearly uninhabited and making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. Utah is bordered by Colorado on the east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north, Arizona on the south, and Nevada on the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico.

*EXCLUSIVE* Los Angeles, CA - Chris Pine is quickly rising to the top of the "most handsome and mysterious" actors in LA. Fresh off his debut as "Captain Kirk" in "Star Trek", Chris has been cool and casual in his daily routine around his home in Hollywood, CA. Seen here wearing his black "wayfarer" style sunglasses and patented white t-shirt, Chris walks back to his car after running a few errands.

Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster) sapling. These pines are not native to Portugal; the first ones were brought from the Landes region of France, and planted in central Portugal by king Dennis (D. Dinis) in the 13th century. He planted vast dune regions of coastal Portugal, to hold the sand in place and promote human colonization (and there went another habitat! sigh). This sapling is sprouting in the southern part of that forest.
