ferns draw our gaze to their intricate forms
tight spirals
soon to unfurl
wonderful characters
in a multitude of expression
spirals
catch our heart and eyes

Fern. So beautiful and intricate at every stage of its development. I especially love the lighting in that first capture and all the curls and swirls of those unfolding spirals! So delicately captured!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tammie:))
ReplyDeleteThese fern spirals are incredible!!! Tender and touching... How could I know (without your photos) that such beauty exists? Thank you, Tammie!:)
ReplyDeleteSo true - fern floors of the forests are so lovely. Great pics. Any signs of fall out west? My favorite season - doesn't come until November here though.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love the ferns. Even my spouse "mows" around the ones that have made their home in the mossy patches of our backyard.
ReplyDeleteThey are, indeed, wonderful characters!
oh, tammie, wow...

Beautiful pictures, beautiful branch, very artistic ways! Best regards!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Tammie! Ferns seem almost magical to me, and your photos definitely capture that. I especially like the ones where they haven't completely unfurled- the shapes look like some kind of secret elvish calligraphy!
ReplyDeleteDelicate and lovely creatures aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOh, my. We have these fern, too...especially in the forests of my childhood. How beautiful--fills my eyes. Though I have observed them many times--yet you capture something I've never seen.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, my dear sweet Friend.

Such loveliness, Tammie - and so many spirals. There is a book by Dr Manjir Samanta Laughton ('Punk Science') in which she suggests that 'black holes' are all around us, and that this spiralling into existence that we see in plants is part of the black hole phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - stunning photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks that you visit our blog!
ReplyDeleteFerns and bracket have their own magical qualities and these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures Tammie.
I love the magic you have captured in these ferns.

However do you get these outstanding photos? I can't imagine how to do that.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful acceptance of nature unfurls within us first before we could see that in the environment. Splendid pictures, and excellent words.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow Tammie!!! The I Heart Macro link is still open on my blog if you would like to participate this week:-)
