Cypress tree seed cones by danette

Cypress tree seed cones

Today's word is "spring" and I can't think of a prettier tree (at least for the bright green) than a Bald Cypress that just flushed out with new growth. Here is the seed cone.
Beautiful greens!

@ruthmouch @sisarie @jodimuli @moreyoulessme @adamj @soboy5 @mittens I have to confess I had never seen one, either until last week. I had to go back and take more photos. Of course, it is only windy when I go there to get a shot where the focus needs to be right on. I actually thought they were like pine cones, but I guess pine cones are seeds, too, right? I've never really seen anything so very intricate.

@pamknowler I had to look it up. They are seed cones. They will burst open with seeds (some already have but they were way high in the tree).

@henrir Thanks, Henri!

@lynnb Thanks so much, Lynn. I wish I had a hilly knoll with some water to plant a bunch. It was so refreshing to walk among them today.

@clmiller And people think all this happens by chance??

@squamloon Absolutely! Beauty surrounds us. Sometimes we overlook it.
