Sat out this morning in the tree. Dusty sunlight filling the pine needles, the spaces and branches looking just like a playground for birds and children.
Picked up a pine cone that was eyeing me on my way up. The cone was fully open, its scales arching back to free the seeds. I've noticed only during this month of sits that they open during the day and close at night. Rich brown scales with a lighter, thicker tip, like a fingernail. Only a couple of seeds remained within. The cone had broken off the tree without much stem to speak of, and gummy sap, yellowish-white, sat on the outside tip of many of the scales, as well as on the stem end.
This will be my day to study and research.
