Cone graveyard... by marlboromaam

Cone graveyard...

I know it's a silly title, but this project has made me do some strange things. I usually pick up fallen pine cones all over the yard - all through the summer. They'll sometimes get caught in the belts of the lawn tractor. So I normally pick them up and throw them into the wash in the woods. Not NOW! This summer, I have been pitching all of them in a corner of the backyard - piling them up. I just love texture and I thought a pine cone graveyard might make some interesting shots. What do you think?

Again, filler. I didn't get the front yard mowed today and I am so far behind with all of you on your pics. My business took me a few hours longer than I expected today, but the outcome is VERY hopeful! Will catch up on your pics as soon as I can.
Great light

Pretty shot. I like the light and the shadows. I find myself taking pictures of all kinds of things. I scared a neighbor today by taking pictures of the water gushing from a water main break before the sun rose. He must have thought I was the neighborhood thief. Fortunately, he was only armed with a flashlight.

No such thing as a filler (in my opinion). A photo a day can be anything taken any time, and I sure am glad you posted the 3 you did today! I love your idea of a pine cone graveyard and think the title is so clever. I'm big on titles and always try to think of something different. You did great! And what a wonderful photo it is. The lighting is so pretty on the cones.
