A small pinecone fallen onto the edge of the curved corrugated iron roof of the sweetest rotunda in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

We have a faux pine tree we keep up year round in our cabin up in the mountains. These golden, miniature pinecones are used to decorate this tree. I think they were passed down from many generations and I was the lucky one who got to have them. My brother and sister weren't interested and I just love them!

For some reason, when I sees 'em, I shoots 'em.

Pinecone cactus (Tephrocactus articulatus).

Originally from Argentina and now widely cultivated as an ornamental in North America.

Something about pine cones. I don't know why, but when I see 'em, I gotta shoot 'em.

Sap seeping from a young pinecone.

Macromondays - layers

With tack-like defensive measures too.

I've always been intrigued by the pattern on pinecones. I've added a link to an explanation of pinecones and Fibonacci

numbers for those of you who are interested.

Of course, I couldn't resist adding a dash of color to an otherwise brown cone.

This squirrel detached this cone from a tree and came down to retrieve it. Unfortunately a couple of people saw him and approached him with their cell phones, causing him to run while rolling the cone in front of him
