Very nice fern pics. Both John and his dad were officers. Mr. Nalley was shot on two different occasions during his lifelong career. God bless all the officers and their families.
Lovely greens:)
Pretty ferns...
Love the way the sun highlights them...
That last shot is very cool. We like how you can see the little dots so clearly.

Beautiful! And look at all those spores pockets (or whatever they're called). There should be no shortage of ferns!
God bless our police force. And may they never invade without a search warrant.
amen to that.
always love to see ferns!
Brilliant capture of light through the fonds! Good job. Now if I could only capture that in a painting! :) From another Sandra

Nice ferns Sandra.
I am always sad to hear of a fallen officer.
I passed an accident the last week with a police motorcycle just crushed - that was all I could see at the time.

So many fallen officers...just isn't right!
The ferns are so pretty in the sunlight and the photographer knows what she is doing!
Beautiful fern photos. And how nice of you to mention the police we so often take for granted.
sunlight and shadows dancing across ferns make for a lovely scene.
My Grandfather was a police officer. Thanks for the tribute to those who never came home.
I really like the way you've captured the sunlight on the fern. Thanks for bringing the Officer Down page to our attention.
I love ferns, one of my favorites!
This means they will be calling us for money. The lit up ferns are beautiful art, sunny wonders. Boston ferns are coming out in the stores now big time. The grocery stores are loaded with them. You have your own...
Ferns are pretty at any time,but you managed to get some really special shots.
Wonderful! Ferns are my favorite plant of all time.
Very cool ferns and they look awesome in the sunlight.
Unbelievable how many officers have died in the line of duty.
The ferns are so detailed...nice to remember officers too
Hi Sandra, Yes---God Bless those officers who risk their lives to keep us safe.
Love your ferns. The lighting is perfect... Gorgeous.
Hugs,

Your ferns are beautiful, the sunlight really shows them off.
My brother n law is an officer.
My older brother who lives in Northern California just loves ferns. He has them all over his back yard.
I love the way the sun is hitting those beautiful ferns. I also wish mine looked that good right now.
It is always so sad to hear about an officer who has died in the line of duty. Thanks for the link to the memorial page.
Beautiful images of the fern...need to remember to check this Officer down page.
God Bless our law enforcement officers everywhere! Our friends daughter was a police officer and was shot and killed in the line of duty in 2005. It was such a tragedy and she was the first officer to be killed in Columbia, MO. Her parents had just had dinner with her that evening not long before she was shot.
Your fern photos are lovely. Beautiful light!
