It started in kindergarten with pens and ink pots and blotting paper. Since then I've loved writing. Transferring the noise in my head to paper calms the chaos. If a worthwhile thought occasionally emerges, I'll keep it here with memories, stories and other random trivia, of interest mainly to myself and, with a bit of luck, to the odd passerby.

Un-Pine Cone Sans Bug
Tanya's photo for our duel today was a pine cone with a bug. It didn't look good for me. I was pretty sure I didn't have anything similar in my photo files. But, I went for a look anyway. And found this. It's not a pine cone. The only bug is of the microscopic variety, invisible to the naked eye. But! It grew on a tree. Just as a pine cone does. I took this photo last November on a hike through the woods. I have no idea what kind of tree it was. I just knew these berries were a beautiful colour and a beautiful shape! Am I disqualified now??

Mmmm - thing this round might be a tie.
I loved Tanya's pinecone but the colours and textures in these goodies are great. Love the different between the shiny ripened berry and the prickly top.
How intriguing...What is it? I need to know so will keep watching ; maybe someone else can tell us.
They are very beautiful - like a decoration really.
( we certainly don't grow those in NZ ! )
Very pretty mystery berries.
There certainly many unusual trees and plants here in Florida. About three weeks ago there was a tree in bloom, but the rose flowers appeared to be in bouquets all over the top... like a florist had tied them there. There is always something new popping up.... like your pretty picture.
Also, I thought you did very well with the NaBloPoMo....guess life just intervened for you.
That is a really nice photo, I like it. It should qualify!
I like this game!
Can anyone play??
Or are there some serious rooools??
Nice photo.
Very pretty. I think you should get some marks for trying.
Beautiful shot!!
Perfectly balanced, lovely colors.
Oh yay, I get to identify it for You! Strawberry bush! Not the kind you can eat!
AKA Hearts a bustin with love.
