The quintessential fresh green wispy maiden hair fern of the monsoon, now a rich shade of ochre/brown still manages to inspire awe...!
BTW, Saraswatpur is home to some of my favourite compound walls and gutters. There's a fascinating world out there to be discovered... :)
This patch of vintage fern was sunning itself at the base of my favourite compound wall, at the corner where the gutter meets the wall. Well, I couldn't miss it for anything!
Even if it meant putting in some deft foot work and doing a mean balancing act on the edge of the gutter, as I hung on to the top of the compound wall with one hand and the camera in the other, trying to focus on this glorious patch of amber fern!
And, loads of acrobatics, a bunch of curious stares and one bellowing shout from the lady of the house was all it took for something so stunningly rewarding... :)
