Tiny Ferns

You are all familiar with our famous Japanese maple tree.  It has gotten quite large, so much so that the lawn underneath parts of it has been taken over by moss.  The moss actually is pretty and I don't have to mow it!  Additionally, really tiny ferns have started to grow in between the moss.  It is amazing to see these ferns - they are so tiny.  Some are only 2 or 3 inches long.  I used a close-up lens to take this photograph, and being so close to the ferns may make the ferns look larger than they are.
