Description

A young fern unfolds on the forest floor. Once unfolded they loose their pinky color & softness & become a rather hardy dark green ground cover. Whooopie it's the Weekend!!

Great shot Ralph, I've never noticed them being pink before. The head of this fern resembles a face!

It's beautiful. But I kept switching with the thumbnail, and I prefer that pov, or at least a reduced area ...
