Ponderosa pine cones burst in the summer heat, expelling seeds from sienna-colored cones on heavy branches. Seeds glide to earth on parchment-hued wings floating on a gentle breeze. Blustering storm winds fling seed far afield from the mother tree.
The winged seed spins round and round on a miniature propeller nose diving down to earth. Each seed glides into a soft landing amid deep beds of long ponderosa pine needles or onto parched summer soil.
A single seed becomes a giant.
About Me
- Susan Davis
- I live on a river and walk in a forest and seek answers in the complex simplicity that I encounter daily. I photograph the divine scenic beauty that surrounds me, and breathe a sigh of relief that I am alive to view the natural pageant.
