beautiful details
the details on this image please me. the way the two needles bundles are sheathed in what looks like thin waxed string in a gorgeous chocolate brown. the way the needles each form a half circle, so that the pair bundle is perfectly round. the copper color of the needles themselves (or would you cal it auburn?). it’s all so rich and textured. and hiding in plain sight.
red pine needle sheathes (or fascicles)
Thank you for helping me to “see.” I took a passing look, but after reading your description I returned to the image and lingered.
