Colour Challenge: More from the Peat Bog

in #colorchallenge • 7 years ago

This is on the edge of the peat bog, where you can walk without getting stuck:

Close to that there is a special habitat, where the acidic water from the peat bog meets the groundwater. The moorland spotted orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata), gevlekte bosorchis in Dutch, likes it there:

The butterfly in the photo is a silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus), heideblauwtje in Dutch. They usually live on heather, but this one decided to give the nearby orchids a go:

Enough purple for one day. Thanks for watching!

      thanks for the great photos! I've read about bog orchids but never saw "in person" :)
      is it build-in lens?
