I always wanted to return to the swamp in summer time with the hope of having shallower waters so I can wade acroos the pond and enable me to photograph different viewpoints  from my last visit.

Unfortunately the bottom of the pond was still very Boggy (hence the name) and I literaly got stuck and had the feeing of being sucked down in quick sand!

So I had to retreat back to the shore, remove my waders, and just photograph from the shoreline.  Luckily I managed not to lose balance in the sticky mud otherwise all my expensive camera gear would end up submerged in the bog !
