Fiddlehead?

Why fiddlehead?

As I was becoming a mother, I discovered a fiddlehead in my backyard and was fascinated by it. Its natural uncurling form. How as it grows it reveals itself. The way the fiddleheads gather together like a family and grow outward. How the fiddlehead changes ever so quickly and blossoms into a fern before you know it. Just like time passing, before you realize it those fiddleheads are gone. That moment has passed. As I evolved into a mother I discovered my need to nurture the artist within. My love of art and photography grew and soon became a passion for capturing my life with my ever and quickly changing fiddleheads. Like the fiddlehead, we are special, unique and ever changing.
