The Fern Grows!

hi there...

i've turned the christmas tree lights on this morning

for a bit of sparkle arkle

'cos it's kinda dark inside

with all the rain and gloomy weather outside.

i took this pic

to show you how much those little ferny fronds

have grown in a couple of weeks...



this fern is amazing.

it grows on the stump of an old mango tree

that we had to cut down to make way for a driveway

just after we moved into this house.

on one side of the stump is the fern

and on the other side is a flourishing staghorn..

they both just live off the decaying stump

which is sitting underneath the poinciana tree in the front yard.

this is what the fern looked like

just a few weeks prior to these new photos...

with the winter

and probably a lack of water

they had died right down

and in the pic above had just begun to sprout new growth.

those young fronds are just unfurling.

you can even see a little of the staghorn in amongst them.

i was only thinking this morning

that nature is just full of the miraculous...

and i think seeds are one of them.

what do you consider

as a miracle of nature?

mr t is off to get mr m from brisbane,

he's coming home for a while...

kara is outside at the moment,

unaware of the surprise that awaits her doggy psyche.

she'll be wagging her tail with delight

later today.



by the way...

now we are having problems

with the internet connection

and can't seem to access certain blogsites...

maybe it's the weather???

hopefully it will right itself.

i've got a little christmas crafting to share tomorrow,

nothing very earth shaking

but hopefully i can access my editing stuff

and trim a few dead corners off the photos!

another cosy day...

perfect for a bit of sewing!

i hope your day is perfect for doing what you want to too.
