Horsehead Fern © 2010 Bo Mackison
I noticed a fern that reminded me of a tiny sea horse in the fern gardens at University of British Columbia Botanical Gardens in Vancouver.

Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

Looks like a ribbon on a Christmas package. The way you would pull the ribbon over the scissors to make them curl like that.
Thanks, Preston. This fern seems to look like a lot of things instead of a fern!
How lovely! That’s a seahorse all decorated in green and gold.
Seahorse? I think so too. What a clever fern!
Oh..this is absolutely exquisite. You’ve outdone yourself here!!!
These little ferns were begging to have thier portraits done! Hee hee!
Wonderful photo, but I’m thinking elephant. I can see the seahorse, but ….. 🙂
Gandalf! Elephants? Really?
Oh wow! This is magnificent! What a great capture-perspective! Beautiful, Bo.
Thanks, Anna. It IS all in the perspective!
Another wonderful find and capture! I like the whimsical quality to it.
Amazing how fascinating these ferns are, isn;t it?
Aha! It is indeed!
I’m with Preston…looks like ribbon on a package. And, your image is fantastic!!!
Ah, that is so awesome looking! I can’t say I have ever seen one of those before, guess I’m going to Vancouver! : )
