For Christmas 2011 I collected a heap of pine cones from my next door neighbour, sprayed them gold and then sprinkled glitter all over them. I had them as part of the Christmas table centre piece. They never did make their way back with the Christmas storage and have lived in a bowl on a side table ever since. See, I knew they'd come in handy one day! :-)
As usual I had difficulty in choosing which one to upload.
This is the one Steve liked and which I uploaded. I liked the bokeh and the tones in this one.
