5/29/2020 0 Comments West Coast FoliageI was feeling inspired by the process I used in the Italy triptych, so I produced a second triptych using a similar process. This time I chose to highlight three common plants found in forests of the Pacific Northwest : from left to right, trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), and salal (Gaultheria shallon ). All of these plants are very abundant on the property where I am staying and when I go for walks along the trails. In the spring, both salal and sword fern have new growth that shines a vibrant green above the darker leaves from the previous year. It makes for a beautiful scene in the forest. At the local park, there are sword ferns whose leaves reach a height of 1 - 1.5 m tall (the sword fern are beat by the bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) - many of which are 2 m tall or higher!).
