When the rainy season comes to California, the hills certainly do get lush and green.
I found this fern grotto off-trail in Diablo Foothills Regional Park. The ferns cascaded down a steep wall and over boulders, covering a height of at least 30 feet. With rain dripping from the trees overhead and mist filling the air, the mood was straight out of prehistory.
Interestingly enough, only a few hundred yards away was a large swath of rocky chaparral...quite the contrast to the verdant ferns.

Magnifique photo. J'ai quelques timides fougères au pied d'un sapin devant la maison. En ce moment nous avons du moins 6°, elles jaunissent à vue d'oeil et vont périr ...
