N is for Nature's Noteworthy News about Narrow Needles (+9 insets)
(+9 insets above)
This is a developing cluster of male pine cones surrounded by many needles, which are this plant's leaves. The pine cones we are familiar with are female cones. On a pine tree, male pine cones are usually found in clusters like this one, and are concentrated near the bottom of the tree, while the female cones are concentrated near the top. This arrangement helps to ensure cross-pollination between pine trees.
There is another story here too, if you look closely. On the right side of the cluster, you will see a small spider, and if you look down below, you will see its newly shedded skin or exoskeleton.
My apologies for posting so infrequently. I am busy working on my book, and now that the last day of frost has arrived, I have a garden to plant. And of course, there are a zillion other things going on...work, life, etc! :D

Really, Janet, gorgeous.
Thanks for the idea of the project.
It interests me, indeed.
Something different and fascinating.
My "little" problem:
time for it.
;-)
I still work, a lot.
Some days I have patients till 20:00, and I feel so tired!
The point is, heavy sessions.
But I´m thinking about retiring, and then ... that´s a great idea.
Thank you very much (again), my dear friend.
I went to the link and it's fantastic, Janet.
Maybe I'll start gathering something for my future project.
;-)
I know just a few about a few people.
A real shame.
Hugs, dear
Have a nice day Janet ! kiss♫
