"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."

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!

Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. In 1999, the Great Pinecone Drop became Flagstaff’s New Year’s Eve tradition, when the Weatherford Hotel rang in the new millennium and honored the Hotel’s 100-year anniversary. Since then, thousands have gathered in the streets for the countdown into the New Year and the lowering of the Pinecone followed by a brief fireworks display.
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.
