Water Bridge Ferns

The fern by Middle Bridge grow happily at the water's edge, and marks the start of the path through Middle Garden. I wonder how many tired gardener's footsteps this bridge has experienced in its short life?

Many cats and dogs have made crossings of Middle Bridge, too. Rusty the red Border Collie, the 2008 Moosey dog, often does a mad dash when chasing a pigeon off the property. I'm surprised he hasn't fallen in the water.

There's a magic about ferns growing by running water. And I didn't even plant it here. Whenever I push past on my way to the gardens beyond I smile - what an excellent spot for this plant!
