Pinecone growth

This may seem like a silly post for the blazing hot days of August, but I thought this picture was an interesting photo of a pinecone getting ready for fall.  It isn’t fully opened yet and the colors look greener and newer than the typical pinecone brown we think of.

Can pine nuts be far behind?    Raise your hand if you are going to try to harvest any this year!  {I’m raising mine ~ if I can find someone with a tree since I don’t have one of my own!}
