Gasing Awakens

Like a lollipop this young shoot of a fern begins to uncurl itself it the morning light. Like all it's neighbours it awakens that saturday morning to greet a new friend to Gasing.

Aug 11, 2007 is the first trek for my friend Grace who is looking to have a new experience and i, an ever willing partner to the wilderness, am her guide.

There will be only pretty pictures of the plants that greet her and i but none of her as she is camera shy this particular morning.

More ferns unfurling themselves, some hairier than others.

A virgin white fungi growing off a fallen log.

Perhaps Grace shall allow me a shot of her the next time she treks. Make a wish!
