I hopped out of bed in my pajamas and made my way to the pine trees shown below. Steph was rightfully impressed with the beads of water on the end of their long needles. I was excited because North Carolina calls itself "the Land of the Long Leaf Pine", and I've been wanting to take up that theme for a while now.
I don't think that I nailed either shot, but I'm also not discouraged with either. Technically, it's a tough photograph to take, as the many beads of water are inevitably in different focal planes. Even so, it was a fun exercise.

The Pine Needles are real North Carolina, where as the sunflowers remind me more of Iowa in the fall. I love how the drops are just hanging on to the tips. There must not have been any wind this morning.
Without question, for me at least, the most striking feature of the North Carolina Piedmont is all of the pines.
As for the sun flowers, there is supposed to be a spectacular sunflower farm out in the coastal plain. A former judge bought a bunch of pasture and turned it into a huge sunflower field. It's high on my list of things to do.
Glad we found your photo blog.`Bonnie
I think these shots show nature at its best. Nature's little crystal ornaments hanging on the the Christmas pines. Beautiful. Ma
