It's a wonderful place, it looks like something out of a fairy tale, that forest. I loved the photo of the ferns sprouting. I often watch them, I like how they slowly unroll and have that layer of felt? haha.... good comparison.
That porcupine is funny. I zoomed in to see what it was all about, at first I thought it was plant art!
It's a good idea to admire the beauty of something you don't know well, instead of putting it in your mouth.

The ferns look incredible when they fan open, I can't wait!
