▶ "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."

It's time for the annual Christmas countdown! How did that happen so quickly?
One of my first countdowns started with pinecones, so it's appropriate to repeat that tradition.
Day 31/365 - Even though it was a cold day, took a bit of a walk. I found 3 pinecones to create a still life.
Pinecone which was once covered in peanut butter and seed, now swings barren from the tree.
My mom likes to put them out as treats for the birds, and they eat em all up right away!
Old photo from one of our many Culver bike path visits, yay! He jumped up to do this. Mwaha, action shot.
Always together, heart on heart
Hanging on our branch, never apart
Side by side, through wind, rain and snow
Clinging together , as the sun it does glow
On our little kingdom, on a branch high above
Where we'll always be together, in our tree of love
48/52 Didn't have time for the theme last week as it is something I know nothing about! Just a photo of some pinecones I've bleached for Christmas decorations.
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
Catchy title, eh?
For my Take Aim group the challenge was to do something that you don't normally do. I rarely take a macro shot. Why? No patience for it and get sick of so many deletes for one lousy photo. Pretty much went like that this time. But I did get this one!
