nature is lovely

Directly behind my deck there is this "baby" evergreen tree. There are all these little things (circled in red) that LOOK like pine cones but are actually cocoons. My mom thought it strange that out tree was sprouting little pine cones at the end of summer and then saw them moving back and forth, which I witnessed as well. Its a pretty awesome thing, our tree is seriously COVERED. I just had to zoom in on a specific section for you to even be able to see them at all
