December 12, 2011--pine and rose hips

On my walk today I picked these multiflora rose hips. Then, later in the walk, I came across some loblolly pine twigs lying on the path. Combined them in my hand, then, when I got home, started thinking about a vase to put them in. I liked them horizontal, and was considering putting them in my hibiscus holder, which allows things to lie horizontally, when I realized they didn't need to be in water at all. So: I just tied them up with a piece of ribbon and laid them in the windowsill.



It was fun to look at the clusters of pine tags up close. Three per bundle, every single bundle. Still startles me that each pine species has its distinctive number of needles per bundle.
