While trying to catch up some long overdue chores today, I was picking up pinecones in the backyard when I spotted this one with tiny mushrooms growing on it.
I've only ever seen this one time before so I was excited to see it again, and had to stop everything to go grab my camera.
Didn't notice the two extra tiny ones on the left until I was looking at it on my monitor.

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.

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.
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!

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.
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.
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!
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
