128/365 - Overloaded

128/365 - Overloaded

It seems like there are a lot of pine cones in some of the trees, this year-- maybe more than usual. (I'm not sure, honestly, because I haven't really paid close attention in previous years. Still, it looks like a lot.) There are two trees in particular, on the way down to the pond, that are especially overloaded with cones. This is one of the pair.

Donald thinks he's heard that this can be a sign of bad health in a tree. A tree in distress may put all its resources into making seeds in an attempt to repopulate the area before it dies.
