"You can live years next door to a big pine tree, honored to have so venerable a neighbor, even when it sheds needles all over your flowers or wakes you, dropping big cones onto your deck at still of night."

A small pinecone fallen onto the edge of the curved corrugated iron roof of the sweetest rotunda in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

We have a faux pine tree we keep up year round in our cabin up in the mountains. These golden, miniature pinecones are used to decorate this tree. I think they were passed down from many generations and I was the lucky one who got to have them. My brother and sister weren't interested and I just love them!

Liked this abstract take filling the frame as Mrs. Krach and I were hiking around in Wyoming. This was near the top of the tree, so the long lens worked well for this capture.

For some reason, when I sees 'em, I shoots 'em.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

Pinecone cactus (Tephrocactus articulatus).

Originally from Argentina and now widely cultivated as an ornamental in North America.

Something about pine cones. I don't know why, but when I see 'em, I gotta shoot 'em.

Thanks for the views and faves;-)
