Ferny fronds ...

A mass of colour, shades of greens and browns in the changing light.  A swathe of elegant fronds gently swaying in the autumn breeze.  Sunlight shining through the translucent greenery, highlighting the heaps of indusium on the underside, protecting the precious spores hidden within.  Nature at work.  A force looking after her own, something not to be messed with.  Protecting, making sure that life and its' beauty will go on.  Go on to survive and delight.
