Life Imitating Shakespeare

"Alas poor Yorick. I knew him."

I was at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve this afternoon. Wildflowers are about two weeks behind their normal bloom schedule, so there wasn't a LOT to see, unless you are a Naturalist. I followed a group around whose leader could tell a story about every emerging leaf or leaflet, twig or twiglet. I swore he was making up the species names.

Anyway, I eventually went off on my own, and next to the old pond (the one destroyed by storms--I thought it looked its old self again). And right on the edge of the water, these two ferns, just emerging, instantly reminded me of a famous scene from Hamlet!
