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!

â–¶ "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.
â–¶ "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.

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.
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
Colorado Springs, CO - We returned for one more look at the owlets right about dusk and were not disappointed. This little one had ventured out onto a branch to get a better look at all of the funny people staring his way. Perhaps this owl was amused by those who chose to stand in the road to gain a closer look but the Colorado Springs Police Department was not as the reward for such behavior turned out to be traffic citations ...
