Macro Monday theme: Anything Goes
I wanted to post this to Macro Monday a few weeks ago, but was out of town on Monday.
Detail of a Ponderosa Pinecone.
On March 5, 2020 I was visiting my son at King of Prussia, PA. We went to lunch at Broadcasting Square in Wyomissing, PA. Along the building where we were eating I found nature to be budding. I whipped out my IPhone 11 Pro and started to take photo images. I would come back later and take more images with my Canon Rebel. I thought these taken with my IPhone were worth posting first.

PINE CONE POINT
Pine Cone Point sits within the Craigvinean Forest – Gaelic for 'crag of the goats' – is one of Scotland's oldest managed forests.
The forest was created by the 3rd Duke of Atholl in the 18th century with larch (Larix deciduas) seed brought from the Alps. The Duke allegedly used a canon to scatter the seeds onto inaccessible cliffs. Historically the lower slopes of Craigvinean were part of the Hermitage 'pleasure grounds'. Today the lower slopes have a mixed woodland of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) while the upper slopes are mixed conifers including the third generation of larch.
The views from Pine Cone Point across the Tay to Dunkeld and to the mountains in the north are quite spectacular. A most abilities path gently zigzags through the forest, arriving at the new hand-built wooden sculpture in the shape of a pinecone. Hand crafted benches offer a handy resting place from which to enjoy the surrounding area.
Craigvinean Forest provides an alternative to the very popular walks in the adjacent Hermitage. The way marked walks meander through the plantation, revealing follies and superb views over The Hermitage and Dunkeld to Craig a Barns.
The forest is home to many species of wildlife and has a high conservation value with its healthy population of red squirrels and capercaillie. The more diligent and patient visitor may even catch a glimpse of the elusive pine marten. Roe Deer can often be seen grazing in the woodland, whilst Osprey can be seen in the skies above - residents of the nearby Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Centre.
Craigvinean Quarry car park has parking space for 12 cars and is the ideal place to begin the walk to Pine Cone Point.
Experimenting with pinecones I found on the ground while leaving work.

Upright in a winter's field,
Austere, fruitful.
So proud, pinecone.

I thought I had posted this one but, I had forgotten. (Probably a good thing.) I don't really like this at all...
Weird composition.
Oh well. Enjoy anyways.
tried in vain to find the pinecone so i could take its picture far enough out, so this will have to do. in doing a bit of research i discovered that the petal-like parts are called scales and this is probably a female one, since the male ones which contain the pollen are generally smaller

Ironing out the kinks in a new camera, test roll. Nothing too seriously kinked.
Very wide, wider than the Xpan by 4mm, about 21mm equivalent on 35mm. So about 3 Xpan frames stacked vertically. No distortion. Nice.
