Tree Fern
This was one of the first days of discovering the tree fern. I am 5 foot 9 and these leaves were higher than my head. I appreciate how the leaves are made up of a geometric pattern. The main leaf is made up of sub-leaves in the same pattern and shape as the main leaf. The sub-leaf is made up of sub-sub-leaves that are in the same pattern and shape as the subleaf. I bet it even goes further in either direction. I like that the fern is backlit, so that each vein is pronounced in the leaves. I like that there are many direction of stems and that these even are imperfect so that the pattern is broken up.

You really took amazing pictures on your vacation, I've loved them all.
Tree ferns are so cool!
Great detail in the leaf....and how the little leaflets are so delicate with their little veins and outlines.
I think I need it to be spring!
