macro photography of green leaves

I often stop to admire the ferns growing all around a trail I frequently hike. I encourage anyone hiking any trail to leave it the same or better than you found it. Take out anything you bring in and please do not damage or destroy the things around you. This particular trail used to be more secluded but recent developments have attracted more people and not all of them are so kind to nature. Nothing ruins my mood more than admiring an insect, a plant, a scene, or whatever nature throws in front of me only to have my eye drawn to a discarded wrapper or coffee cup.
