I noticed that a stalk of the Cinnamon Fern had taken a sharp turn upward. Had someone bent it and the plant kept growing or had the fern suddenly decided to grow vertically rather than horizontally?
Fruit is starting to appear on the Wax Myrtle branches
A closer look at the fruit clearly shows the waxy covering
Spotted some Feay’s Palafox and took a shot from a different perspective.
As I walked down the side trail I encountered a tree just covered with Turkey Tails. The Tails at the base of the tree were wide and large.
The tails further up the trunk were smaller and thinner.
This part of the trail has a nice inviting bench. So I rested my camera bag and took a shot.
Thanks, John, for another inspiring post! Your photographs reveal the beauty and mystery of the natural world around us that we often are in too much of a hurry to see. The surprising characteristics in even the smallest seed or leaf or branch are a joy to behold.
Thanks for the kind words. Nature provides an endless source of amazing scenes to capture.
Those WM fruits look like mini-mulberries. Weird, and the sort of look you don’t see just hopping down the trail.
I never paid a lot of attention to the fruit’s texture till I took that shot.
