Unfurling
The pleasing curves of an unrolling fern frond can be eye-catching in the spring forest undergrowth.
Mossy Cliff
Spring brings so many vibrant colors, but I always love the bright greens you so rarely see any other time of year. This is a sandstone cliff in Amnicon Falls State Park in Wisconsin that hosts wonderful moss and lichens and some evergreen ferns.
Clinging to Existence
These Polypody Ferns are native to much of the northeastern and midwestern United States, clinging to damp exposed rock faces. They form a common sight near waterfalls in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
