A small pinecone sitting by its self.

Day 11 of my 365 day photo challenge. Taken July 17, 2014.

My moms fire place in Sedona.

I add this picture for Roney, as the pinecone holds the seeds to

birth a huge tree and he will not see that growth.

My prayers are with CARFand the families that are trying

to survive.

Our grandkids like collecting pinecones as we walk through their neighborhood. I set these on the ledge and I liked the look of them.

Felt lucky to get this shot seeing as how moments later the park picked up this big pile of pinecones and sticks. I would say about 5 minutes after haha. Thought it came out decently :)

Again, she was a model my bf and I were shooting. She was very fun to work with so you will probably see more pics of her when we get the chance to work with her again!

For this shot I used:
