Yes, that is snow on the forest floor, and this was shot yesterday in NE PA! Saw this mini crop circle or spider web formation while out in the a.m. Just took two quick shots, wish I had paid more attention to it, as I got home and really liked the formation--not sure what caused these ferns to lie down in such a pattern. ISO-80, 1/60th (??) and f-3.2. For some reason, having a lot of trouble getting this down to size, so larger posted and all comments welcomed.

Good eye to catch this one, Bill.

I can see what attracted you to this scene Bill. You should go back in a few weeks when the new growth is starting to come up, might be interesting as well.

I'm guessing that not too many people would have noticed this interesting arrangement of elements Bill. I'm glad you did. It feels very layered to me, speaking of the passage of time. Actually it depicts three seasons, maybe even four.....green new growth, the spines of last years ferns and then the decaying leaves mixed into it all. Really great shot in multiple ways.

Thanks Joel, Adam and Mary--I really like how you put that Mary, didn't even think of the seasonal elements that way.
