Connie John takes her son Calais Chee, 5, who are both from Navajo Nation, to look for pinons, (also known as 'pinyons'), near Cameron, Arizona, U.S. September 15, 2020. Pinons are seeds from a pine cone and are considered a delicacy and a traditional food for the Navajo. "When you go pinyon picking, you get to share stories and have family time. Family time is the best time. When you get out into nature you can forget about things for a while. You don't get quality time that much today, so many people are on their phones or planning to go places," said John. REUTERS/Stephanie Keith
