I love when the first ferns come up out of the ground with their fiddle heads which then unroll. These plants are so delicate and I never tire of photographing them. The main fern bank is in front of the house, but some ferns have migrated under the famous Japanese maple tree. I tried photographing these ferns with my normal camera in color, but I was not impressed with what I was able to get, so I got the camera converted to infrared and I knew these ferns would stand out against the background. I love the sort of ominous black branches coming in from the top of the frame.

Fiddleheads make a great salad. They are so tender.
Love IR photography. Too bad IR film is exceptionally expensive.

I like the fiddlehead ferns done in infrared. I had never eaten a fiddlehead until 2000 when I worked at Max Amore restaurant. Very good but haven’t eaten any since. Betsey
