The Ferns Emerge

Every Spring I love to watch the ferns emerge.  First the little curled fiddleheads come up out of the leaves on the front hill then they start upward and unroll.  So I missed that part this year. But here a single fern makes its way up through all the other things growing on the front bank with the ferns.  Usually I shoot the ferns against the sky, but I love the feeling that this looks as if it is in a forest.  I used my 200mm telephoto lens so only the fern is sharp and the rest of the things are out of focus which I like.
