[Magdalen] Happy Christmas

[ME Michaud]

I come from a part of the world where there's a distinction:

marsh (salt water wetland)
swamp (fresh water wetland)
bog (damp mossy wetland surrounded by woods or scrubland).

We have kettle ponds, areas where the retreating glaciers suddenly let go a
cascade of meltwater and scraped-up stones that scoured a round hole
deep ito the ground. Fed by springwater and rainwater both, to come upon
one in the woods is a paintable (or photographable) pleasure.
