A pile of pine cones fell on the path.

Sometimes pine needles stick out like pins and prick the skin if you put your body against them.

    Love your capture of autumn remnants with cones and withered leaves on the ground! And those sharp pine needles do look extremely dangerous, Carver. :)

    I love the shots, their angles and the colors. I almost miss winter with the snow on the trees - but not quite.

    Used to collect pine cones; don't know why. Then eventually I'd have to throw them out back.
