A Rainy Day

I seem to be hiding from the rain a lot these days.  Overcast and showers for eight days straight - I know that because I wrote the weatherman to ask why. I said it was for two weeks, but he said it was only 8 days.  Anyhow, because it was raining I decided to stay under the cover of the maple tree.  I photographed this grouping of ferns.  I had photographed them before, but I wasn't happy with the composition.  I think this time I nailed it.  It is more interesting because of the contrast between the white and black areas and how they are distributed throughout the frame.  I like this a lot!  Yes, I know it's in infrared again, but I would say it is infrared well used.
