The other day, I went back to the Shorepine Bog, on a nice, mostly overcast morning, and did a slow circuit of the trail. The bog consists mostly of Sphagnum moss, up to a couple of metres deep. Growing out of this acidic environment, you find the Shore Pine, and the surrounding Muskeg Frorest. The colours of the mosses and other plants in the bog are vivid and striking, and overall, it reminds me of the African savannah.
Some of the best views are in the detail shots that you get from a telephoto lens, isolating and highlighting form, colour and light.
After completing the bog trail, I continued to the Visitor Centre and then took the trail over to South Beach. It was just after high tide and there was a good swell, so the waves were fun to watch.
South Beach has lots of small stones, and as the wave recedes, you get this wonderful susurration of water, and stone-on-stone. Always mesmerizing to sit and listen to.
