Baby. Ferns. = one of the Universe's greatest creations. In April of 2014 I did an artist residency at Weir Farm Art Center in Wilton, CT. The Center just so happens to be smack dab in the middle of the Weir Farm National Historic Site which is part of the National Park Service. Long story short, the space is amazing. It's the only national park dedicated to American painting (find out more here).
Every residency provides its own unique treasure and you can never anticipate what it will be. For me, Weir Farm was where I discovered the greatness of baby ferns. Daily fern photo shoots became part of my routine and that is where the photo used for Day Nine came from. Walking through the woods, the baby ferns unfurled towards the sky resembling emerging infant dragons - quite a magical experience.
