#8 100 Tiny Beautiful Things
Spruce cones
Misconception: All cones are pinecones. UNTRUE! Not all evergreens that produce cones are pines.
In Egyptian mythology, cones symbolise enlightenment.
Here in Ontario, the summer of 2019 was extremely hot and dry and those conditions are reflected on many of the conifers in the record numbers of seed cones they’re displaying. Cones are the product of a two-year cycle. The Spruce trees here in Northumberland County are sporting bumper crops at the moment.
Cones consist of “scales” on their core or centre stalk. Their symmetry, scent and beauty are gorgeous to me (this is where my weirdness shines through) and that is why these Spruce Cones are today’s one tiny beautiful moment.
