Ferns, ferns & more ferns

I can't help it if they're wicked photogenic. Whenever I'm out in the woods it seems I come back with pictures of ferns. Some say I need an intervention.

Yeah, it's crazy. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Like em all but the last one is my fav.

thanks much. took me a few tries to get that last one...soft, mushy bank of a brook. If I backed up more I'd have been in it.

Interesting, I never considered ferns a photo subject

Good photos

I really like #3 and the macro work on #5 is awesome.
You have an excellent eye, thank for sharing these.

thanks guys. #5 took me many tries to get right. darn wind!

Very nice series, especially that last one.

Lovely, the second to last is my favorite :)

thanks much. Ferns are so variable and interesting that everyone has a different favorite.

Nice series of unique images, well done!

I've been at it again and these recent ones just seemed to cry out for a monochrome conversion -

Playing with the color sliders really helped punch up the second one.

From yesterday's killer hike up Mt. Jackson and down Mt. Webster
