They're a big renewable resource in South Carolina. I like the way the needles reminded me of fur. However, they can snap like tooth picks in strong winds or uproot and fall over in ice storms. Not a tree you'd want in your landscape, or close to your house in a hurricane. Still, they have a beauty all their own. Shot in black and white mode - no conversion and another filler for the day. May be filler for another week while I visit the hospital.
@joysabin I used to say I'd rather rake leaves than needles. I just let the mulching blades on the mower grind them up. =)
