I went out for a short drive this afternoon, determined to find my photo for today. It was very grey and dull again so rather than going for sweeping landscapes I was looking for details. I found these ferns and was struck by the wonderful patterns of their fronds. I decided the architectural quality of them worked better in monochrome than colour.

Very pretty shot. Have a lovely xmas. Lynda · 2009-12-24: 15:27
