These hips can be found along much of the track that enters the bog, a river on one side and a channel of water the other. The track is criss-crossed with paths of traversing animals, with mink, badger, foxes ands otter having been spotted in the locality (as well as The Hound).
I was fortunate enough to catch a nice blue background on this shot, as on the way back, dark brooding clouds had taken over.

Have a good week.
Such vibrant color. You live in a beautiful place, and your photos are gorgeous.
