   The 1st thing I thought was “shrimp” but then I realized the detail on this plant made me think so! Interesting shot to ponder.

   Nice effect! It does have a “shrimp” look as suggested above.

   Are the ferns starting to turn there already? Ours are that dark green they go just before turning yellow. I really like the detail in this photo!

   Hi Klaus
   I thought this was your ‘F’ post until I scrolled down… I did not think of shrimps like others but ‘arthritis’ the fronds reminded me of an old persons hand making a fist… some poor soul who suffers from arthritis..
   Yet your picture like all your pictures show the true beauty of nature.

   Great photo but I don’t know what type of plant it is either. I am thinking Venus Flytrap maybe? Cool up close shot!
   Hugs,

    You know you’re a great photographer when you take the simplest of things and create a work of art. And if I’m not mistaken about what this is, to take something dead and give it life… that’s priceless!

    For a moment I thought they were shrimp hanging from a clothesline.

    Beautiful!
    I love fiddleheads, the unfurled fronds of a young fern. I don’t remember ever having seen a fern frond at that late stage still so reminiscent of its nascent shape.
