Fern & Snow

Needing to get outside on cold winter day, I took a hike along Trail 1 in Shades State Park, near Waveland, Indiana. Walking carefully in the light snow along the ravine, water could be seen and heard flowing down toward Sugar Creek. Small, interesting waterfalls and cascades were potential compositions.

The fern seemed to be stubbornly hanging on to life as long as possible on this January morning.
