Walk in Camosun Bog

Saturday I headed out to Camosun bog to take some photos for the project. What a wonderful oasis it is with all the subtle colours of the mosses. Some of the Crazy boggers were there restoring an new area of the bog. Laurence kindly showed me around and introduced me to some of the resident plants and an interesting wildlife tree that is full of sapsucker holes.
