I've got a neat spot about five miles west of where I live -- on the Fairfax to Bolinas Road -- I call it Lilly Lake.

But I'm not sure if Lilly Lake actually has an official name -- it's close to the road but isn't very big. Not many people stop to explore it's swampy, albeit quite wonderful qualities.

"What a wonderful world" -- that's what I was thinking as I was making my way around the soggy shores of Lilly Lake.

It's a place you might imagine as the birthplace of life -- after all, the place abounds with tadpoles and frogs and various other creatures.

Looking through a fern from it's underside. It's what another fern might see.

Nice. I love how you find such special little places to photograph. Great focus on the branch dipping into Lilly Lake.
