I really love taking macro and closeup shots but the slightest breeze completely ruins the focus. It takes a lot of patience and many shots to get just one decent photo of something that's hanging or on a stem. Or I bump in to the branch next to it and set it off. lol!

Wind gusting as this Merlin hangs on trying to keep its composure. The death grip on the pinecones was noticed.

This tree sported fungi shelves in spring and now again in late summer.

I'll have to find smaller hooks...

While trying to catch up some long overdue chores today, I was picking up pinecones in the backyard when I spotted this one with tiny mushrooms growing on it.

I've only ever seen this one time before so I was excited to see it again, and had to stop everything to go grab my camera.

Didn't notice the two extra tiny ones on the left until I was looking at it on my monitor.

▶ "A pine cone is an organ [the fruit] of the pine tree containing its reproductive structures. Pine trees are only one of the conifer, or 'cone-bearing,' plants; others include cedars, firs, cypresses, and redwoods. Pine cones, like the reproductive organs of other conifers, come in male and female varieties. The image that most people associate with the pine cone, a woody, scaled structure, is actually the female structure. Male cones are smaller, more herbaceous, and shorter-lived."

— Wisegeek.

▶ "Pine cone is a compound word that can be written with a space (called an 'open compound') or without a space between the two words (called 'closed'). If you look on the Internet, you will find that this word is quite common in both forms."

— Merriam-Webster.
