My pics are nearly always scenery shots so I decided today that they would all be close ups !

Closer isn't always better, somethimes tracks such as this Deer track are clearer when observed from further away....

What was the fern?

Licorice Fern.

Native uses:

According to Gunther: Rhizome is roasted by the Makah, peeled, chewed
and the juice swallowed for coughs; Cowlitz crush the rhizome, mix it with young fir
needles, boil it, and drink the infusion for measles; the Quinault either bake the root on
coals or use it raw as a cough medicine.
Chewed for flavour and used as medicine for colds and sore throats; also used with
bitter medicine as a sweetener (Pojar).
