Dreaming of Spring
I took this photo with my Nikon CoolPix 995 in April 2006. A Maidenhair Fern with a Bee Fly, at Jubilee State Park. Each year when I hunt Morel mushrooms I find these marvelous ferns. I just found out the name of the fern at my Allerton Corp of Discovery class at the Illinois Natural History Survey. We used some photos their photographer (Michael Jeffords) had taken to learn photographic choices and I recognized the fully grown fern and asked its name. This is a new one, just emerging, with a lovely Bee Fly to form the focal point.

What a delicate herald of spring! I loved maidenhair ferns (I went to college on the north coast of California where they were plentiful) here in Texas I don't see them much! Interesting things you are learning in the Corp of Discovery classes - and thank you for sharing with us!
