I always wanted to return to the swamp in summer time with the hope of having shallower waters so I can wade acroos the pond and enable me to photograph different viewpoints from my last visit.
Unfortunately the bottom of the pond was still very Boggy (hence the name) and I literaly got stuck and had the feeing of being sucked down in quick sand!
So I had to retreat back to the shore, remove my waders, and just photograph from the shoreline. Luckily I managed not to lose balance in the sticky mud otherwise all my expensive camera gear would end up submerged in the bog !

a very interesting place to photograph,one of contrast between the stark limbs of the dead trees with softly swaying green reeds,but this is a place of danger luring the adventurous into the dark waters to where the bog waits for its next victim.
yes you are right Brent. As mentioned in my Blog I was nearly sucked in to the muddy depths.
