In My Dreams I Can Fly...

Well...it's nowhere near spring out here on Long Island.  I wish I were out finding those reassuring signs of renewal.

In PA, I had all my favorite haunts.  I knew just where to find the first snowdrops, bloodroot and mayapples.  I could find wild columbine, pussywillows and ferns.

Unfurling ferns are one of my very favorite signs of spring.  I knew of one large patch that I noticed one day along the side of the road when I was out for a walk.  It became an annual photo stop and I spent a couple of hours there each season. 

This year, I'll be on the hunt for new locations here in NY.  I hope I'm lucky enough to find a local bed of ferns.
