Fern
Finding Greenspace
I found this peaceful creature resting on a forest fern while hiking through Wisconsin woodlands. I believe it is a moth; I couldn’t tell you what kind. It was quite small but easy to spot because of its light coloring on the dark green leaves. I truly enjoy the intricate markings of its wings.

Fern of Fancy
This fern, found in the woodlands of northeast Wisconsin, was in the final stages of unfurling. In the spring these ferns sprout from the ground and go through the process of spreading their highly divided leaves.
The delicate curl you see at the ends of the fronds will soon straighten out. These ferns can quickly take over an area of forest floor when they are growing in favorable conditions.

Fall Ferns
Surrounded by the obvious evidence of Autumn, these woodland ferns endeavor to maintain their summertime green.

Tail of the Dragon
This is an emerging fern found near one of our flowerbeds. This one escaped the flowerbed border and was sprouting up through the grass.
The roughness and the curl – not to mention the green color – reminded me of a dragon’s tail.
