Bog Meadows Quaking Bog

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 12 January 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I had never heard of a "quaking bog" before and looking at the scene beyond the sign it really didn't look all that much like a bog to me. It just looked like a small wooded area off the side of the road.

I did a little research and this was the definition that I found for what a quaking bog is:

quaking bog

n. A floating mat of thickly woven mosses, rushes, and shrubs that forms across the surface of shallow ponds and may shimmy or shake when walked on.

I did not venture further into the bog which was probably a good thing.
