Dave Bonta: Cool. My dad used to make ground-oine wreaths when I was a kid. Be careful not to harvest too much in one spot, though - turns out they can take a while recover, as you probably know.
I love the light in this one. And the complementary colors of blue and yellow really makes the ground pine sprouts (or whatever you call them) an interesting contrast.
Dave Bonta: Thanks. The yellow things are the fruiting bodies with sporangia (can't quite call them seed heads), which are said to have medicinal and highly explosive properties.
