Glassy fern fronds

...I missed having this challenge ready for the last Photo Art Friday at Pixel Dust Photo Art.  It was to be connected to the number 3.

  1. What a wonderful gift Carole. Isn't it fun that we can photograph our gifts and then make a little piece of art from it?!

    I've been quite absent too - internet connection problems.

    Glad you shared your link this way!

  6. I've always thought that ferns and particularly the opening fronds were exquisite. Thank you for showing me even more beauty than I'd imagined!

  10. Oh these are wonderful. I love them in their natural state and then your texture just made them into a wonderful Art Piece as well. Nicely done.

  11. Those are beautiful!! I prefer it with the natural colours, but the blue is interesting!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
