Emerging pine cones

 Wonder if someone can answer a couple questions regarding this photo:

What type of pine tree?
Are these the male cones?

Thanks much!

the photo doesn't show the needles well enough. how many
needles per cluster, what length & what part of the
country/world are you in?


 those are pollen cones, yes. soon everything around will be
covered in yellow dust.

I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

 Thanks much. For Lee or anyone else who may be able to help with my
other unanswered question, here are a couple more photos:

And, the location is northern Alabama, just south of the Tennessee
line.
Again, the question was, what type of pine tree?

Thanks much
