Common Bracken


A thin coating of frost, and look, the Common Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) changes of color and mood.


From soft brown and grey ...



















... to furry white and cool blue ...



















... to a deep golden hue against night blue.

Winter color


Rather depressing, this rainy winter: grey and brown and black and grey again. And the sun does not show up at all ...


But look, brilliant green with gold, streaks of bluish grey with little pink specks. Mosses and lichens do their best to impart some colour to their surroundings.

Snow!


Snow, and sun ...


And what could be more black than a black dog against the snow?
