Unfurling

"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass,
it becomes
a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself."
~ Henry Miller
This week's Friday Photo Challenge
hosted by the lovely and talented Chania
at her blog Razmataz
involves getting up close and personal.
This photo was taken a few days ago.
It's a Boston fern in my back yard.
I like the tender translucence of the
newly opening frond, especially for
the way it stands out against the deeper,
more mature sprigs of green.
Until next time...
Anne

  2. It looks so fragile compared to the older blade. It's a beautiful shade of green ~

  6. I'm late in complimenting you on this beautiful picture. I too have these ferns in my backyard and they are not only great space fillers, but look wonderful in their infant stage.

  10. Dear Anne,
    Well, you know that my garden is full of ferns and hostas and this photograph is just beautiful.
    Our ferns have finished unfurling and are now turning beautiful shades of Autumn although we do have a couple of varieties that are pretty evergreen and stay that way all year round. XXXX
