Capa de Leon 3
The textures, lines and contours on the Capa de Leon (Giant Staghorn Fern) were what I wanted to capture in this series of photos. I have six of these unique plants clinging to the branches of my rambutan trees and they all looked healthy and thriving well on the branches where I placed them. I had to use a ladder to get a good angle for the shots and relied much on the soft morning sunlight to get the tone I wanted to capture.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Just beautiful.

The photos are beautifully done. I think I’ve observed plants such as these deep in the forest close to swampy land (sadly always without a ladder).

Thank you Joseph. It’s possible that you found similar plants in your forests because capa de leon belongs to the fern family which is quite prolific in most places. Grateful for your visit.
