Winter Ferns in Limestone Fissures West Virginia
by Lucille Neal
Orange low-angle light washes over the jagged limestone pavement of a West Virginia winter landscape. Deep, vertical fissures cut through the gray stone, cradling clusters of evergreen ferns that stand stiff against the biting air. The wind whips the fronds into a dynamic blur, their green hues stark against the bleached rock surfaces. Patches of ice glint on the stone ledges, reflecting the honeyed sky above. A shallow pool of meltwater at the base of a large slab mirrors the dark ferns and the slanted sun, creating a perfect vertical symmetry between the rugged earth and its inverted image. at the edge is a sharp, dark shadow stretching across the wet stone where a single fern frond leans into the flow.
