Lovely sinister photo.
Thanks, though I don't know what is sinister about it.
Ferns look like alien life-forms.
Especially when they're as perfect as your subjects always are - the
plants I photograph usually have some dead leaf or blemish on them
somewhere!
We have a herbaceous fern called "bracken" which has an underground
root sytem. One plant can cover half a county and in hot wet seasons
the shoots grow fast enough to blur your pictures. Farmers fear it.
Yes we have that here too and I know just what you mean. :-)
