Fiddleheads Unite!

The sun is slowly showing itself and the fiddleheads are unfurling. I worship fiddleheads and ferns in general. This is such a preciously short time and so easy to miss! I realized when I saw these little critters in my yard that I have tried subconsciously to duplicate the fiddlehead spiral elsewhere, as in the arrangement I have already put together to inspire me year-round.

Our Spring is running late this year. One of the measurements of the season in my hood is this stunning old ornamental plum tree. It's always at it's best when displayed against a mid-afternoon blue sky, which because of scheduling and weather isn't always a possibility in a given year. This photo is from a few years back when weather and her pluminess converged and I was able to be there and capture her.
