resurrection fern: spring frost refreshes

spring frost refreshes

I know at this time of year we all feel like moving on from snow, ice and frost but there is something delightfully refreshing about an early morning walk in the forest where the newly awakening earth is lightly frosted. Here is my walk in pictures.

I love the diamonds on the sporophytes glistening in the morning sun and the ghost leaves still remaining on the trees are also such a delight. The last picture was taken just before getting back into my car and heading off to work.

I just wanted to say thank you so much again for a very quick and successful etsy shop update. The stones were all gone in less than 3 minutes!!!! I am sorry if anyone missed out but I will try my best to have another update before long.

Such a lovely visual this morning. It has been weeks since I've gone walking and I miss it, more than I realized.

Love the diamond-encrusted sporophytes.
