This spring, however, I discovered new growth. Each of the four ferns has developed new leaves - and I love how they slowly unroll, remaining in this kind of fairy-like phase until they finally turn into a long leaf.
A photo opportunity, of course.
I couldn't resist to process it with some kind of texture - I chose Kim's texture "kk_0411" in soft light at 66%, then copied and blended in multiply, also at 66%. Some levels adjustment - and there you have it.
I"m linking this to Kim's Texture Tuesday and this week's theme "simple".

My parents have ferns in their garden, too. They are so cute when they start to grown, aren't they?
Such a glorious sight to see - particularly when you thought you had lost them.
I've found ferns to always be so beautiful in this stage. Love the texture you added - beautiful!
I love it!
Beautiful capture and texture work!
Beautiful, Carola. Ferns do like shade.

Love ferns! Great focus!
don't you just love ferns!! i'm totally with you...the way they unfurl is just magical!
I love the simple shape and the glow behind the 'baby' fern is wonderful! Very beautiful:)
It is amazing to see how the curl is a perfect circle, and all the new foliage is tucked in so neatly. Beautiful macro shot!!
I have the hardest time photographing these in a way I like. Partly because I have yet to master depth of field in macro. I tend to shoot too shallow for my taste. Beautiful. Rebecca
Beautiful shot. The fern has a sort of abstract art look to it.

Beautiful! As a desert dweller, I am a little jealous of the lush greenery where you live.
Such a magical picture! I love it!
Very beautiful. Fantastic colors. Love the bright spot behind the fern.
I love unfurling ferns. Just wanted to let you know your Liberated postcard arrived in Germany, it is a very lovely image, thank you.
a beautiful fiddlehead!
Gorgeous! This makes me want to go check out the growth on our fern outside.
