Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana) is a species of pine native to Southern California, it only grows (natively) in coastal part of San Diego and on Santa Rosa island. I work for an institute located on Torrey Pines road and these trees are quite common here!
Pictured below is Torrey Pine pollen (using 25x/N.A.0.60 objective). I added a drop of immersion oil to make the pollen transparent.

I run across yellow pine pollen around here. It looks similar to the photograph you have posted here but I never could get anything to clarify it. A nice shot Piotr.
