A Sticky end!
At the end of a brilliant ride around the Hoge Veluwe, We found this little scene amongst the grasses. You can just see the last meal in the background. A whole week of breakfast?

I like it Paul, something different to the norm.

That really is different and I like the approach. Often people over look these kind of shots but for me they tell a great story about life in the 'bogs'.. Small nit would be that blade of grass or sedge on the LHS, very minor but could have been avoided with a little gardening.. Thanks for sharing.

that's a fascinating image, I've never seen a scene like this before.

Excuse my ignorance Paul, but where's the Hoge Veluwe?

great to hear you had a great time over here in Holland. Didn't know you were there. I certainly would have tried to meet up with you.
The shot looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Really interesting shot Paul. Its amazing that something so complex should be consumed by something like a bog triffid. Great scene.
