Finland: Siikaneva

Another afternoon hike after running errands for Eliska (trying to keep her family informed when no one will tell me anything since I'm not family? ugh!). This time I went to the Siikaneva marshlands. There were amazing plants here
cottongrass

Sundew

lovely bogs
more cottongrass, it is just too photogenic to pass up
and here's what it looks like from a normal distance
It was a peaceful place
Lots of walking on these paths, for km at a time
More plants. don't know what these are though, sorry
Again, storms moving in the whole time, but I managed not to get wet
Fireweed and aspens (or something) rustling in the wind. seriously cool
The sphagnum makes pretty patterns
Dark clouds!
