Ferns Unfurling


 
silently watching
fragile fern fronds unfurling
singing praise to spring

My sister is particularly fond of ferns, and I like it a lot, too. Some walks we've been on while in Yorkshire we were so surrounded by ferns it was easy to imagine a time when they were the size of trees and made up large parts of the forests.
Love it how the photos correspond with the background of your blog's template!

Of course in New Zealand the fern - silver fern - is one of the country's emblems. Just to be picky ferns are rarely fragile in my experience!

Poetic license to create allitteration, Graham! ;)

I love them especially at this stage when they are still such a lush fresh green, and not quite unfurled yet, Meike. These grow in a little park here in the neighbourhood.

I LOVE FERNS, these are so beautiful... i like them curled, i like then unfurled, i like them open.

the shot of the fern unfurling seems almost magical! all are lovely, as is your haiku.

Yes I think I remember you have blogged pictures of them too, Sandra.

DawnTreader said...

Thanks Norma. Yes it is a kind of magic, isn't it! ;)

Loved these photos of the ferns unfurling....you did a great job capturing them.
National Geographic had better watch out.
