I've never seen new cones this color before - must be the particular species of tree. I saw this at Bibler gardens and am unfamiliar with this type of tree.
Very nice close-up and just that little touch of bokeh. That is really quite an unusual pinecone - wonder when/if it turns colors? Pretty neat spotting.
@bjywamer Bibler Gardens is here in Kalispell. When you visit we can meet! I am attaching a link so you can check it out. Thank you for the nice comment. https://biblergardens.org/tours-events/
