A blow-in

Strong wind this morning from about 4.0 till 7.0, then, after a lull, picking up again, more gently. Amongst the blow-ins was this pine sprig with its small flowering cones. I know radiata pines are considered weeds in many places but they can be attractive and their scent is a delight (as a child in NZ I spent many happy hours playing amidst a forest floor of pine needles, so there's a slight bias here!).
