Thank you, Debbie! I had similar perceptions when I noticed the twig with cones caught on the branch of another tree. After taking the picture I helped it along its way to the forest floor.
My theory is that this twig with its cones snapped off a tree in the wind when the remnants of Hurricane Helene blew through here. And then it got caught in the branches of a different tree before it could reach the ground. And there it stayed, dangling at eye level, waiting for me to come along with my camera. 😉

Perfect for the season … and beautifully captured.
Thank you, Frank.
Lovely!
Thank you, Donna!
Barbara, this photo is a great bridge between the seasons — just enough Fall in the browns, while carrying the promise of Christmas trees to come!

Nice catch, Barbara… the bokeh provides a nice contrast. <3
Thank you, Eliza. I was pleased with the effect, too. 🧡
Beautiful Barbara – it would make a perfect adornment for a wreath or swag at Christmastime.
Thank you, Linda! I agree. I don’t often find pine cones connected to each other like this.
That would be a triple treat for a squirrel to find – they eat the pine cones, soft and green or these dried cones as they have pine nuts.
Well, I made it easier for a squirrel to get to the pine nuts by releasing the twig and cones from the tree and putting them on the ground. 🙂
You made their day for sure Barbara. 🙂
Interesting photo. I see pine cones on the ground, but not like this.
