Today I uploaded my webpages on Arizona’s xerophytic ferns. There is an introductory page and a field guide. It’s not finished, but comments and suggestions are welcome.

I won’t be able to photograph more ferns until the winter rains bring them back to life, so the project will be on the shelf until after the Winter Solstice. Meanwhile, here’s a red-spotted toad contemplating Argyrochosma jonesii growing in a cool shady limestone hollow under saguaros.

The color of this fern is so beautiful – almost metallic in nature.. And the toad is such an interesting contrast in color and texture. Beautiful picture.
