Last Tuesday I wrote about how I’d dug up all the ferns I was so fond of photographing. The next day, on a hike to Chickering Bog, I found a number of varieties of ferns, all lusciously new and green. I did not have the time to adequately photograph them but certainly did enjoy seeing them regardless.
More than 50 varieties of ferns are found in Vermont so I have plenty left to see and photograph! Ferns are another good example of how easy it is to simply pass by without really seeing, and what a loss that is.
Interrupted Fern (Osmunda claytoniana)
Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum aleuticum)
Cinnamon Fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum). Interestingly this fern has been on Earth for more than 75 million years.
Still Learning To See 
I just met maidenhair fern, too! It is so delicate and lovely
