Dark and Nurturing

I thought I'd try something different today. My walk through the deepest part of the woods gave me several interesting images of ferns. Very brooding and quite emotionally heavy. Not in a negative way at all. There's something strong and solid about darkness if we can see through our ingrained issues with the need for light and bright.

What better way to connect with our deeper selves than a wander through a darkening woodland after sunset, either alone or with a trusted soul.

Here lie two images interwoven, overlaid and melded together. For comparison here's a shot of just the basic image. Which do you prefer??
