I think it looks nicer viewed large on black here.
Straight out of the camera. I spotted these in the Azalea garden in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Fill the frame alternate for this week. I like the shot, I just think the ornaments were more cheerful.
Crossing the Big Thompson River in Rocky Mountain N.P. there was a heavy layer of frost on all the trees and this one little pinecone.

Devils Tower glows orange in the remaining sunlight of the day. It's thought that the igneous rock columns were once the core, or plug, of a long extinct volcano that's outer shell has eroded away over millions of years.
There are no pine trees in this area, which is coastal prairie with some scrub oak. But we have been lugging these pine cones around for what seems like 1000 years as christmas decorations, and now I finally found a good use for them: 120 pictures in 2020 #86 "Pinecones".
I was doing a bit of cleaning in a corner of a room set aside for my collection of photography doo-dads, when I discovered a bag of
aromatic potpourri that had been hidden from view for quite a long time. I decided to open it, and go through it, to see what it actually contained. I started to toss the pieces I considered "keepers" into a basket - when I looked down and thought; "hey- this isn't half bad." So here you go; . . . my "half bad" photo.
Happy Wednesday everybody!
I see you fallen on the ground
Where you landed without a sound
On the bed of green you lie
Waiting under the deep blue sky
Waiting to feel my hungry finger
Caress your skin and then linger
Opening you without a sound
As you lie upon the ground
along the ground
