Fern

Every time I have walked down to the end of our road recently I have been captivated by this small Bracken Fern growing at the base of this massive Redwood Tree. There is such a strong contrast between the light green delicate features of the fern and the dark, gnarled and burned Redwood Tree. Late this afternoon I dragged my camera down there and photographed it. The wind was a bit of an issue but luckily there were a few breaks in it to sneak in a few exposures of the fern.

The Redwood Ghost or the Forest for the Trees

This morning I dropped Annika off and on my return trip from town I noticed this old gnarled,burned and mossy covered Redwood stump. It was cool because it had two trees growing from its slowly rotting form. So it was a nursery stump. What was even more interesting to me was the fact that I have driven past this ancient stump hundreds of times and I never really took a good look at t it. I wonder what made me look today? If that old stump could talk the many stories it could tell of events and times gone by.

God's light and love to all,
