  1. Quite the artistic shot! That said, I hate it when winter comes back to ruin the start of spring. Posted 10 years ago
    1. It wasn't nearly as much as it looks :p - most just in the shadier areas and we aren't complaining, after the very warm winter we've had here any little bit of snow in the mountains will mean water in the summer! Posted 10 years ago

"Pteridium aquilinum", also known as "eagle fern," is a species of fern occurring in temperate and subtropical regions in both hemispheres. The extreme lightness of its spores has led to its global distribution.
