Approached as close as I can with my macro lens to the places where pine leaves are born. They erupt in a dense cluster of tiny needles less than 1 cm in lenght, from a cone-like sac.
Click to zoom to reveal more details, especially for the third photo which shows the apical meristem (the youngest and less developed leaves).
I used a Sony a77 camera and a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens.

Thanks!
A macro lens is a nice thing to have, to see unexplored parts of the world through the camera.
