happy little moments... ferny green seahorses

I had a happy little moment last weekend when I was walking on the moor near my parent's house in dartmoor. I was looking at all the ferns that are growing wild there and I noticed that as the leaves unfurl, they look like tiny little seahorses dangling down....

I wonder if they all carry on growing on the plant and eventually open out into big fern leaves or if some of take their chance to escape when a big gust of wind comes along. Maybe they break free and float on the breeze down the hill to the stream that runs through the valley. Perhaps there's a whole big flock of ferny green seahorses swimming in that stream having magical adventures with other tiny green ferny seahorses and whatever other creatures grow mysteriously on the hillside...
