Cone of Silence

I am in love with these pinecones, created from shovels by Patrick Plourde.

Why?

Well, I asked myself that question in the Escape Into Life poetry blog today. And sort of answered it. And then asked you a question.

If you are so inclined, please see the EIL Blog and leave me an answer!

But then my brain did one of its Random Coinciday things. I thought of the Cone of Invisibility. I'm pretty sure there's no such thing, even if these shovels become "invisible" in transforming themselves into pinecones.

I was surely juxtaposing the Cloak of Invisibility (Harry Potter, etc.) with the Cone of Silence (Get Smart).

But these cones do evoke a silence, don't they?!
