Equisetum hyemale

Equisetum hyemale. I have early memories of Equisetum growing in the shores of Lake Michigan. I thought it was great fun to ruthlessly pull them apart because they would break at the segments and make a lovely popping sound, You could then reassemble the segments like a puzzle or make chains of them. I'd like to think i have a lot more respect for nature these days so now I'll stick to photographing them and appreciating their unique beauty.
