    Trying again...the photos did not load.. This fern, found by a stone wall that borders wetlands and a stream in Wayland. Including photos of the front and the back. Thanks.

    Dear Sheila, good afternoon. I'm sorry, but I cannot see enough of this fern to identify it for you. It appears to be a species of Dryopteris (wood fern), but I would need an image of the entire leaf, including the lower leaflets, to help you out. Best wishes.
