#146 - Ferns on a tree stump

I had an idea of where I wanted to walk today, but I was distracted by this tree stump that has the most lushious green ferns growing inside it, spilling out, bright and green over the dead wood. It's not Spring time yet but there is new life, and these ferns just look so alive don't they? A friend just posted an Émile Zola quote, "...I came to live out loud." Well, that's exactly what these ferns are doing, they positively shouted at me as I walked past this afternoon.
