Fill the frame alternate for this week. I like the shot, I just think the ornaments were more cheerful.
Crossing the Big Thompson River in Rocky Mountain N.P. there was a heavy layer of frost on all the trees and this one little pinecone.
Devils Tower glows orange in the remaining sunlight of the day. It's thought that the igneous rock columns were once the core, or plug, of a long extinct volcano that's outer shell has eroded away over millions of years.
There are no pine trees in this area, which is coastal prairie with some scrub oak. But we have been lugging these pine cones around for what seems like 1000 years as christmas decorations, and now I finally found a good use for them: 120 pictures in 2020 #86 "Pinecones".
This is my second choice for MM "Knolling"

Some would see this and walk on by,
but a photographer can only think of what they can create, what kind of composition can be made with this beauty. There appears to be more than 2 dimensions in this shot, the depth of field gives that illusion. And illusion based on what was real is real.
Trying out my new camera, bought as a second to my Nikon, much lighter and easier to carry around.

I see you fallen on the ground
Where you landed without a sound
On the bed of green you lie
Waiting under the deep blue sky
Waiting to feel my hungry finger
Caress your skin and then linger
Opening you without a sound
As you lie upon the ground
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year may this new year bring you love, friendship and laughter the greatest wish in life.
