Description
I went on a hike in Fern Canyon yesterday. It's an almost magic place, walls of ferns a hundred feet high. We passed these small branches leaning out over the creek; they're the first buds of anything I've seen this year--probably a willow or alder.

Nice one Marilyn. Do you think the earthquake caused it to pop early? Walls of ferns...100 feet tall. Sounds prehistoric! Nice presentation...
Fern Canyon sounds like a photographers delight. Is there a spider web in there also? Dana
This looks lovely, nice to see new life springing up, well done!!
I love your misleading title. Plain ol' anything? Yeah, right! This bud stands out and you've captured it beautifully...I think that's what makes it far more than plain. I love the sense of life that you give this bud, especially since it's as vivid as your other work but with a completely different color flavor. This is really great stuff!
New buds are always a sweet promise of things to come for me. Thanks for the link, as that Fern Canyon sounds like somewhere I would love!
New growth and a promise of something beautiful to come if nurtured and treated in the right way!!! Wonderful image and VERY symbolic to me! :)
Such promise!
excellent
excelent
Excellent work.
cool looking here
Hey Bud, Bud, gotta light? I like the angle of the bud and focus in this keen komposition, Maz!
Budding stuff, there is hope that someday spring will come, hopefully to the Midwest this year. Great shot.
agree with chip...your titles are an institution here. (As I've said, I'm aware of imitating them from time to time!) Lovely capture of a bud. And the soft-focussed background actually looks like veils or sheets of light. Very nice effect: I had no idea trees budded in January where you were (because you're in a cold environment); though your shot makes it look very lonely. Nice solo shot, Marilyn. And good to see this place in your gallery...(Ok, I'm giving you this one, though you probably already thought of it: Your next one should say "This Bud's for You".) (Soooooooooo original...)
excellent macro
