Baby Bristlecone Pine Cone

A baby pine cone on a bristlecone pine, Mt. Evans, Colorado. They are so pink when they are young, even if they are sprouting from a thousand year old tree.

The pine needles are blurred in the background.

Thanks so much for visiting.

It looks like a rose! But would feel quite different! A great shot of something we might never have seen!

Beautiful! This is a new pinecone/pine tree to me, a fabulous capture, the bokeh is wonderful, too.

What a beautiful pine cone . Our baby pine cones are green and look nothing like this. You captured it's beauty perfectly.

Oh wow, that's really something. Lovely dof Rosie.

I totally agree with @pamknowler. The ability to see so many parts of the world through the eyes of locals is a real privilege.
