Window to Spring
A short hike at Round Lake.Just an occasional sunbreak.Found these small ferns backlit on this mossy branch. Warmed me up a little. Maybe should have moved closer for a more out of focus BG.

Jerry,
I agree about the oof bg...and think a crop off the top, eliminating the open area above the branch, makes this a little stronger...but I LOVE moss and ferns, and it's a good combination of both.
Driving around a little today, I got warmed up by the blooming cherry blossoms and also the blooming daffodils in my yard. I planted sooo many bulbs recently, my yard is gonna be covered in tulips, irises, glads, and wildflower mixes...

Yes,
I agree with everything John says. I took a little hike in the gorge the other day without my camera and there were many signs of spring. Birds churping, plants coming to life with their scent and more light peeking throught the trees. It was a good feeling. :cool:
