I saw these ferns along the Middle Fork Path in Springfield and thought the natural arrangement was perfect.

Fern Facts from SoftSchools - http://www.softschools.com/facts/plants/fern_facts/559/

"Fern is a vascular, seedless plant that belongs to the group Pteridophyta. There are around 12 000 types of ferns that differ in size, morphology and type of habitat. Ferns can be found throughout the world. They live in shady places that provide enough moisture, such as forests, fields, swamps and areas near the streams. Fern can survive in various climates and on different altitudes. These plants are among the oldest living organisms on the planet."

There is so much we can learn from nature. There is even a field of science where they steal designs from nature for ‘new’ inventions. I feel I am getting a real education from what the Bible calls “the book of nature”.
