Macro Mondays - Stray Pine

I was out on the shores of lake superior (as usual) and I saw a green pine sitting in the sand. Certainly out of place as there was no greenery within at least 100 yards, this was the only green piece of nature on the entire beach that day. I didn't have my macro lens on me at the time so I took a cropped image of the original size, which made for a great close-up! I've provided the full picture below!

Up close it doesn't much look like pine at all! It reminds me of some kind of rubber brush. I think one of the hardest things about photography is consistently taking great pictures. I'm still learning, but it's relatively hard to meet the criteria for some of these contests. It really requires me to think outside the box. Just be looking at others entries, I see that there are a lot of great pictures that I probably overlook. Slowly but surely I am working on my photographers eye!

Thanks for stopping by! Steem on!
