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.
