bogs

I think I mentioned earlier that Ireland had a lot of bogs due to the climate and rapid deforestation. The pics below were from a National Park. Not just any park mind you, a bog park. The yellowish orange ground you see is in fact what a bog looks like. It's METERS deep and is mostly moss, decaying plant matter and detritus.

Wow...that's pretty crazy. Did you have to wear boots to walk around in the park?

They look really fluffy. Did you pet them?
