ice fern

It was actually quite warm yesterday, most of the snow is gone, but these icicles remain on rocks in a secluded section of Harrison Hills park, with ferns growing amongst the rocks. I spent an hour in this rustic valley with ice and a roaring stream, photographing.

 

This was difficult to film, so I used the bracketing feature on my camera where it takes three photos in a row, at different values for shutter. Then I combined them with HDR to get something that to me, looks more like what I saw. The originals were either too bright in the ice, or too dark on the fern.
