Went for a walk with my boyfriend the other day, it's been hard lately to find motivation to do anything. But it was nice to finally have some nice weather and get to go outside. I've started physiotherapy and am working on getting my hand better. This is one of the first photos i've taken since my accident and I had fun editing. It's been tough but every day I'm getting better.
A cone (in formal botanical usage: strobilus, plural strobili) is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures. The familiar woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cones, which produce pollen, are usually herbaceous and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from the fact that the shape in some species resembles a geometric cone. The individual plates of a cone are known as scales.
The male cone (microstrobilus or pollen cone) is structurally similar across all conifers, differing only in small ways (mostly in scale arrangement) from species to species. Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls (modified leaves). Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia (pollen sacs).
The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.

I love folding this model. Unfortunately, I suck at taking photos.
A pinecone found (and returned to) a trail at a state park located South of Parker, Colorado. Quite detailed in large.
On the Pinecone Tooth Bolete the tooth-shaped protrusions are initially whitish to purplish-pink before turning brown in age
"The Golden Ratio has been used in art for millennia. Use or illustrate the Golden Ratio in a photograph today."
I have long been fascinated by the Golden Ratio, Phi, and the Fibonacci Sequence. So for today's shot, I wanted to illustrate the Golden Ratio in a few different ways. The face is said to have proportions according to the Golden Ratio. The pinecone, of course, is one of the natural occurances of the Golden Spiral. I also composed the shot to make use of the Golden Spiral and intersection of the Golden Triangles. Yep. I'm a geek.
Taken during one of my lunch walks, the warmth of the spring sun has caused the pinecones to open to drop their seeds. The squirrels will have a feast. Mar 20, 2012 L1010116.dng
Crunching leaves on hikes during the fall is pretty great, but what we love even better is crunching pinecones on the trail during the spring. Something about that big crunch is so satisfying!
