It was only when I got home and put them on the computer that I noticed something different.....
Now I know you do not know this particular tree, but I wonder if you notice something odd about it too? It is something which could be on any bud of any tree.I will give you the answer toorrow. :)

It looks more like a seed pod to me than a bud! Diane
Little scale bugs??
A nut for the nutty?
I give....I never know the answers to your questions, but always learn something.
Kind of looks like aphids.
The pinedrops grow off the mycrohrizal fungi on the roots of Ponderosa Pine. Seems there is disagreement whether it's a symbiotic or parasitic relationship.
Thanks for taking me to all the beautiful places in your part of the world. I relive this adventure every time I post about it. That may be a good excuse to post slowly.
Never observed these tiny creatures before. Eagerly waiting for your answer.
I will wait as my guesses are bad
I think I'll wait to guess, it's no doubt really obvious...
You may be right Lynda, but then maybe not. :)
It is a seedpod too Diane. :)
It is an interesting one Mary. :)
Are you saying I am nutty TB? LOL!! Can't say I blame you. LOL!
I think you are going to be surprised at the answer Birdy. :)
You may be right Gaeyl, but on the other hand.... LOL!!
Thanks for the info. They are most interesting and I have not seen one before.
You are most welcome. We have to do it again sometime.
Good idea too Mike but not as obvious. :)
A wise idea Michelle. :)
Of course you know I'm no good at this, but it does keep me coming back to see the answer. It looks like a gall that we have on our Goldenrod plants here, and maybe some little bugs riding along.
B..
Strange you should mention it Becky, I was just putting together something on galls as most people do not know what they are.
Ok, by now I know its the little bugs. But I also notice the tips of the fingerholdiums that keep flowers and other things in place for the perfect picture.
LOL!! The branch was so high up I had to bring it down to my small size in order to take the picture Jonker. I thought of cutting it out, then was too lazy. :)
