    Really like the apples and eye contact. Pine cones kind of belong in a tree, on the forest floor or on a moss covered stump. The bowl just isn't right ;-)

    lol msjudi...Yes he does OWN the bed... Sorry Classyshots, guess you wouldn't like my home then...I decorate with a lot of nature type things...I frame leaves, display seashells, arrange interesting sticks and twigs I find in baskets, have a ton of plants and yes wooden bowls filled with pincones...Mostly with pinecones my kids find during our nature walks... ;-)

    - Have a nice day...

    Not a thing wrong with decorating the way you want to. After all you are the one living there. As for pine cone gathering in California I could tell you a real interesting story about getting an 18 wheeler locked up and sliding trying to miss a guy stopped in the middle of the highway while he was gathering cones. I think I aged 3 years when I came around that corner.

    - Oh Bull!

    I love the apples also and think you should make it into a poster - I also love the last shot of the cat and child.

    "Pinecone 1" for me, it lends itself really well to b&w. Great composition and focus. Simple, but beautiful! "Eye Contact" is cute!
