Others Bogs and Fens: Special Wetland Environments

[Greg Shchepanek]

My most favourite places are Bogs & Fens, the rich Flora & Fauna of these habitats are like no other and you have to stay on the boardwalks to enjoy their beauties. Making them not great places to do macro shots but challenging. Labrador Tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum) Mer Bleue Bog Conservation Area, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Ramsar site no. 755.

Canon EOS M100 • EF-M55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM • ƒ/6.3 200.0 mm 1/320 320 Flash (off, did not fire)
