Studying things close-up can amaze and delight. Just look at the astonishing texture and fluffy softness of these fiddleheads. It is hard to understand how the rich lushness of a fully unfurled fern leaf can be compressed and packed so compactly into such a tight ball. But if you look closely, you can see the texture and shape of the full-grown fern in each of the ridges in this tightly coiled stage. Spring offers us the promise of the future and if we look hard enough, sometimes a glimpse of what's ahead.
