Tiny platycladus cones...

Split open to shed their seeds. Remember those little peachy colored female cones shot back in March - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/drive-by-shooti/2021-03-13 and here https://365project.org/marlboromaam/extra-stuff/2021-03-13. Known by several common names, we'll just use arborvitae. More info on this plant here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platycladus

it is a lovely macro and a tad surreal close up like this

@phil_howcroft Thanks, Phil! Not as sharp as I'd like. A little difficult to get a sharp shot while holding the leash of a curious beast. LOL!

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam hey mags, most of my recent strangers are shot with Ruby in one hand !!!

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft Ruby is probably better behaved. LOL! Will just wants to go everywhere.

@pdulis @milaniet I was never around to pay attention to them for a long time.

@ludwigsdiana At least I documented their stages. =)

@monikozi Thank you, Monica!

Just planted two this year. I have a very nice older tall one that the birds love.
