The Secret Life of Plants


The Secret Life of Plants

Today I asked the boys to move a couple of woodpiles from one 
place to another. During the explaining I noticed a few ferns poking 
up next to the outdoor spigot.

In the evening, while the rice for dinner was cooking and the sun 
began to set, I grabbed my camera and went outside to take photos 
of the blossoms on our apple tree, which is now in full flower.

Thinking of the ferns for a moment, I glanced at them and was 
disappointed to see they were already in the shade. I got down 
on my stomach and took a couple of shots anyway, then moved 
over to the apple tree before the rest of the light faded.

I had no idea at the time what those ferns were really up to.
