Where they lurk!

Where they lurk!
Beautiful lake, you say? Quiet and peaceful scene? What you don't know is that at every corner of this lake there lurk creatures of your worst nightmares, creatures who eat other creatures alive, swallowing them whole. Scotland has its Loch Ness and its monster, but Washington has Summer Lake and the Halloween creatures that hide there. This is a place you would not want to visit at night nor on Halloween, for there are found flesh-eating plants, and who knows what they will do if you go alone or in the dark.

On a more serious note, this is the east side of Summer Lake, the place where someone has introduced various species of carnivorous plants. The picture shows part of the muskeg or floating bog on the right. Standing where this picture was taken one is standing on a mat of floating vegetation that moves underfoot and that is the home of these carnivorous plants. Interestingly, the lake is also the home of a man-made floating island that has trees growing on it that are at least 20 years old. More details and pictures of this unique place can be found on the following blog entries.
