Pinecone Stuck on Poison Oak

Pinecone Stuck on Poison Oak
I think everyone would have laughed if you'd seen the crazy double-take I did when I saw this pine cone. I was walking along when I noticed something lumpy above the ground, and realized it was a pine cone. I suddenly jerked my head around to see because the last time I checked, pine cones don't form two feet off the ground! "HOLY COW!!" I yelled, "How the heck did THAT happen?!!" I was staring at a Ponderosa pine cone that had falled from the tree and speared itself on a pair of poison oak stems! I tell you, there are the most amazing things to be seen out in nature. I would have made a bet with anyone that no WAY would this happen. And yet, here it is! (By the way, this picture is "stacked": I took the pine cone and poison oak from an image with an aperture of 8.0 and put them into the version that is 4.0! This method certainly gives me nice results!! :)

Great find and excellent capture. I guess that finds like this are the result of statistical probability. :) The stacking has worked well too: I must revisit that process. :)
