Just a little pine cone!

Today has been awful in terms of trying to take photos. It is so smoky from the forest fires in the mountains that you can't see the mountains 10 miles away! My poor sinuses are dying!

Anyway, there was this one lone pine cone on the tree outside our house that was beckoning to be photographed. So I obliged.

Sorry for the poor blip tonight, but I think I caught the essence.
