Backlit Fern

Uploaded: June 30, 2011

Description

This fern was in deep shade; except one frond standing upright, which was receiving a patch of direct morning sun through an opening
in the nearby privacy fence. It had such a glow to it, as I walked through the shady part of the garden, it really leapt out.
