I think in some ways I prefer texture over sight when it comes to beauty…

Photo #684: Pine TipLocation Taken: Wawa, Ontario
Time Taken: June 2010

No wonder I’ve been feeling less than creative these past few days! I’ve been fighting off a cold!

…Which, of course, means I now solidly have a cold. Otherwise I still wouldn’t have a clue.

Ah well, time to post a pretty picture of a decorative coniferous bush and call it a day.

I’d say it’s as scratchy as my sinuses are now, but this is the tip of the branch, in that soft green stage of life. If you’ve ever paid attention to a pine tree, you’d have noticed that the new growth is very different from the tough needles that make up most of the foliage. It’s noticeably lighter in color, and is soft and delicate.

I love touching that new growth. It’s a very pleasant softness, somewhat between the soft hair behind the ears on a puppy and the delicate fuzz of a peach.
