I am astounded, I say, astounded!
I wanted to post a picture of a pitcher plant, you see. My Dad and I were bantering about what I’d be posting in my blog, and perhaps it would be a dog, in a bog!
And I said “Well, I have photos of dogs and I have photos of bogs, but I have no photos of dogs in bogs!”
So I went to my computer planning to post a picture of a bog, specifically a pitcher plant, since I’ve posted pictures of a dog. Makes perfect sense, you know.
I could have sworn I had taken photos of pitcher plants in the past. I’ve been in several bogs where they grew, and a swamp or two too, and I even know I brought my camera along on at least one of those trips!
Alas, thinking back, that was my film camera I had at the time, not a digital one…
And while I have the negatives for all my film photos, I have no plans to digitize them. I took them while I was still learning the photographer’s art, and while some of them were decent, none of them stood out as good enough to do the lengthy digitizing process for. Well, maybe one or two, but still…
But what this means is that I do not have enough photos of bogs! I have some photos of swamps, like this one, and some of those swamps might be bogs, but I cannot verify it! The tragedy!
