Custard
28th June 2014
I know its only a few days ago that I posted a water lily picture. But they are usually so hard to get to that I don't get many opportunities to get one not alone two!!
This one was taken in a little pond on Achill Island, the picture I posted last week was very difficult to get, and my friend Vincent and I were deep in the boggy mud photographing it. This time the flower was tantalisingly close to the waters edge so I strode towards it only to find myself crossing the bog. I was quickly forced to slow my pace however as the ground beneath me became very boggy. With every step I took the earth moved it felt like I was walking across a bowl of custard with a thick skin on it which could break and swallow me up at any time!!! Of course that was never going to happen but it was a ver eerie feeling! Anyway I was able to get close enough to photograph this Water Lily.
