Kōwaowao (hound's tongue fern; Microsorum pustulatum) grows in profusion at the start of the No. 1 Line track and has a knack of catching the light in a way that makes attempting a photograph almost irresistible. I didn't put up much of a struggle this afternoon.

And I am so glad you didn't. Thank you - that is stunning (both the shape and the light).
How lovely to see it reaching out for light and warmth. I guess you are, too.
EC, thank you :^)
RR, definitely!
I had to stop and gaze a long time.
Zhoen, I often feel like that when the light's right on that part of the track.
I can just imagine the huge joy and relief on the part of the ferns when that light finally does reach into the stillness of the understory.
Miguel — a bit like me on a warm day in winter!
