Tiny Pinecones

While I was stalking the heron along the river, I saw these tiny pine cones. I don't know what kind of tree they come from but they are only about 1/2" in size. Maralee

The Heron is Back

The great blue heron that I've been stalking for the last few years was back at the river this week. Of course, it was across the river from where I was so these photos are cropped quite a bit. I hope it sticks around for a while and I can get some better photos. Maralee
