fiddlehead to fern

amidst the dreary winter brown ground, i spy the first sign of spring...
a baby fern, aka fiddlehead, unravels toward the warm spring sun.

the newly emerged fiddlehead looks almost alien.



others join in the stretch toward sunshine.




a day later, violets emerge to befriend them.


an just two days later, many fiddleheads have unrolled into young fern,



and will continue growing taller each hour.
i'm always amazed at the forest fern in my front yard, they go through so many stages, so quickly - and look beautiful the whole time. they'll be full grown, at almost 4 feet tall, by May, and so thick that the ground won't be visable anymore. i plan to follow their journey.
