Wooden Roses

Yesterday my very large European Larch tree ( Larix decidua) was well and truly pruned! This is a picture of the small brown cones, that I think look like tiny roses.

They do look like tiny gold roses, Rosa, and the new shoots when they first appear resemble tiny green shaving brushes.

Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Amelia:

A good description of when they first appear Amelia! The tree is at least 45 years old and needs cutting back every few years.

A beautiful still-life study, Rosa. I love the warm, golden light. Your great use of light and shadow emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the wooden roses. When I saw the thumbnail of this photograph, I thought you had been gathering pine cones. Cheers, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. There are hundreds of cones still to be picked up across the garden! I should be out there doing it now! Cheers, Rosa.

I think they look more like chocolate than wood. Of course that could be because we've run out of chocolate at home.............

A lovely still-life image Rosa.........the golden light and the detail. A nice background too.

Do you have a log fire? These would burn beautifully and smell lovely.......or maybe save them for a BBQ in the summer?
