Most were very high up in the trees near the top. There was one that was on a tree that was only 10 to 12 feet tall. That one was maybe 4 feet off the ground. Tow of them, the two biggest ones, were about 12 feet up. I've seen them in all sizes of trees, at all heights above the ground. I even found a tiny one growing on a knee-high tree one time. I find them fascinating to look at. And they are very common. Oftentimes you can stand in one spot and look all around you and see 3 or 4 of them, if you look hard enough.

I photographed 8 of them, and here are 4 of the coolest ones. Hope you enjoy. The trees are of course Pitch Pine.
