So, it's been quite a few weeks since we started this "nature project/
observation. However, I've never really noticed the pine cones that's
been thriving within the tree until recently.This just goes to show that unless you pay really close attention to your ambiance, it is doubtless that you will overlook something's existence(pine cones in this case). According to my research, there are different types of pine cones. Pine cones vary dramatically in appearance and dimensions.There are the impressively elongate and slender cones of sugar pines and western and eastern white pines, for example, and, at the opposite end of the
spectrum, the little squat ones of lacebark , mugo and Scotch pines(Schowalter-Hay). I'm not sure if it's the exact same thing, but the pine cones I found were very similar to Scotch pine cones. I'll be sure to find out exactly what it is during the instance of my observation.
Not a very clear picture but they're still visible!
Also, since I think that I haven't looked close enough, it could be possible that there are other life forms that I have yet to discover. Having something to look forward to definitely keeps me sympathetic towards further observations. Discovering something that I have not seen despite the three years that I've spent living around it would definitely be enthralling.
