Clouds and cones

I spent most of April under overcast skies. Some days the clouds came down to ground level. This morning I’m above the clouds. Or maybe I’m upside down.

There are some pinecones about the size of cantaloupes on the ground here. This is the first time I’ve seen them with freshly crystalized sap on their tips. But not totally crystalized, as I learned when I picked one up and got sap on my fingers. Sticky stuff.

(When I saved the text file for this post I named it cloudscones. Though I meant clouds cones it also reads as cloud scones. The lightest of pastries, I guess.)
