Rusty...

...and I took a walk in the forest.
The extra shows a heath, or moorland spotted-orchid, Dactylorhiza maculata, or in Swedish "fläcknycklar".
Our walk had two sections. On the first a path that had been fairly clear 3 years ago was now so overgrown we had to give up trying to find it. Rusty was so deep in the undergrowth I could only see him by the shaking of the greenery and I was having problems pushing through the vegetation. I couldn't see the ground which seemed a little hazardous!
Eventually we found an elk path and followed that to a clearer track left by a forest machine many years ago. Here we found the spotted orchids growing everywhere along that track.
