I love folding this model. Unfortunately, I suck at taking photos.
On the Pinecone Tooth Bolete the tooth-shaped protrusions are initially whitish to purplish-pink before turning brown in age
I love the pattern these pine cone scales make! From Wikipedia ~ The members of the pine family (pines,
spruces, firs, cedars, larches, etc.) have cones that are imbricate (that is, with scales overlapping each other
like fish scales). These are the "archetypal" cones. The scales are spirally arranged in fibonacci number ratios.

A cone (in formal botanical usage: strobilus, plural strobili) is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures. The familiar woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cones, which produce pollen, are usually herbaceous and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from the fact that the shape in some species resembles a geometric cone. The individual plates of a cone are known as scales.
The male cone (microstrobilus or pollen cone) is structurally similar across all conifers, differing only in small ways (mostly in scale arrangement) from species to species. Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls (modified leaves). Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia (pollen sacs).
The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.
I folded this almost a year ago, and now I remembered that I still have a picture and decided to post it. It's my own design, the paper was some gift wrapping paper, probably around 40x40cm.
Quand on vit au coté des gens on ne se rend pas vraiment compte qu'ils changent,
et c'est comme cela qu'on finit par les perdre.
so here it is, my first picture taken with my new extension tubes!
recently i found one of my dads film cameras, his only nikon one with a 35-70mm attached to it. first i ignored the lens since the 18-55 kitlens has a better reach on dx.
however since that one does have an aperture ring it turned to be my extension-ring-macro-lens-thingy :P
