Equisitum on forest floor        Images © Mark A. Chappell

I took this picture from a delightful boardwalk (the 'Boreal Forest trail') in Riding Mountain National Park, in western Manitoba. There was very little light, so this was a long exposure (about 1/2 second) made with the camera braced against the boardwalk railing. Aside from avoiding movement, the main problem was the horde of hungry mosquitos.
