primordial ferns in dappled light

A walk in the woods

Sometimes, I like to take a quiet walk in the woods. For today’s walk, I was was accompanied by my thoughts and the steady calls of cicadias (though we always called them locusts) and a few birds. There is a soft beauty of the patchy sunlight streaming through the leaves overhead… I’ve rarely been able to catch it, but I think I got pretty close today!

I've always been fascinated by the shelf like fungi on the fallen trees

primordial ferns in dappled light
I loved the softness of the light and the primordial nature of the scene. You can see similar looking ferns in fossils that go back tens to hundreds of millions of years ago.

 

I was interested in the light that came through the leaves. I didn't even see an interesting detail til I opened this up on my computer at home
