Fabulous unFolding Ferns!

We went for a ride in the woods about a month and a half ago
and
it had just rained earlier in the day.

Everything was this intense, neon green color.

I felt like it was a tropical rain forest in the north.

But what really hit my eye
were
these brilliant, artistic
unfolding ferns.....

I just fell in love with them.

So here are some shots of the unfolding ferns....
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!



Just look at this twisty, convoluted fern
that nature designed to come up through the soil
and unfold
right before our eyes!:
(If only I could pack as well when we go on trips and I am trying to stuff my suitcase!)





I loved how the sun hit these ferns coming up from the forest floor:




The sun hitting the head of this fern reminded me of when
you first light a sparkler on the 4th of July:






A twisty tied curl (along with a bug!):




It's spring....
it had to wear a wooly hat to keep warm
while sprouting:




A bunch of newborn ferns!:

By now, they are full grown, huge ferns.....
but
I like them best when they are newborns......................................................
