Sketch: Pine Tree

I have an affinity for trees. I often find my self studying and sketching them when I am out. I also find that I often doodle trees of all sorts, more than any other particular form.

Here is yet another pine tree sketched while I waited to pick my son up from school. There is something about the symmetrical form of a conifer sticks in my mind. They are all similar and yet distinctly individual. The trunk on this one has the look of a Giant Sequoia (Sequoia Giganticus) even though it has been 10 years or more since I saw one up close. Perhaps I am dreaming through my sketches?
