Natural Fernery.

Posted by Maxine (Rangiora, New Zealand) on 11 February 2009 in Plant & Nature.

The walk leads to views over Lake Kanierie, but the best part was the bush itself. this cluster of ferns was spotlit for me by the sun through the canopy, so i had to obey and take this shot!

@Charles: When I did landscaping so many people could not see green as a color! I love greens in all tones and shades, so the bush feels wonderful to be in.
