Me too. I recently heard a landscape designer talking about shadows and patterns in nature and his talk inspired me to post this. Reply

That’s a shadowy looking fern.
Up to something shady, no doubt.
Wonderful capture.
Thank you
I like the play between fern & shadow.

All the better on stone — lovely contrasts!
Stone that has an affinity with mud, I’d say.
Love the shadow.
Thanks, Dawn.
A fine juxtaposition
Neither would be as interesting without the other.
Isn’t it interesting how the details of ferns often are sharper in their shadow?
Their outlines, certainly. Even their flatness is interesting.
Wonderful pattern of fern and shadows.
Many a fine shadow must be lost because ferns grow in dimly lit places.
Ferns are good. Shadows are good. So much the better with the two together.
