Description In the dark shadow of a mountainside cliff ... under a thick canopy of black spruce and poplar ... there is a place where the sun touches the forest floor for only moments a day.

Yet, in the face of such odds, gentle life flourishes. As the new ferns arrive, their fiddle-head tops unfurl and reach for the elusive light.

! I wish I had more wallspace in my home for prints... maybe I should just buy a small one of this at some point. Surely I can fit something small...

i love the contrast and the juxtaposition of the different colours . it makes you wonder how life is exactly like this. A bit of light here and there, in our world, but everywhere else is rather dark. the depth of this piece is wonderful too.

a wonderfully calm and hopeful image ...
those fiddleheads will make it into beautiful ferns now
and won't find themselves slathered in butter ... in my belly
