A fallen tree covered with Resurrection Ferns. The fern is an air plant that attaches itself to other plants and gets its nutrients from the air. It gets its name for its ability to survive during long periods of drought. It curls up and appears dead but unfolds at the first sign of moisture.
It was very wet and rainy the day before I took this photo and drizzling an hour before.
