Foggy day

Each person, it seems, has a somewhat different reaction to fog. Personally I like it, though I get concerned for those who must drive in it. Today was a wonderful day for a walk in the fog.

(Interestingly, the first three photos were taken facing the sun, the last facing directly away from it.)

Ranch pond

On a short hike today the fog began to close in rapidly causing me to cut the hike short. As I returned to where I had parked, I was drawn to the colors of a willow tree (to the left in the first photo) that grows beside a pond on a ranch at the bottom of the canyon, and I decided to venture down near it for a photo.

Upon taking that photo, I was drawn to the tree in about the center of the photo and framed it for another shot which I liked even better than the first. Something about the fog…

There is always a beautiful scene (or one that I consider so) awaiting those who pass by.

Too foggy for pictures this morning.

Spotlight

Somehow this photo from the fog we had the other day continues to haunt me and so I decided to post it. (I think it’s the little tree about in the center.)

On the edge of the fog.

Yesterday in the early morning, just as the fog over the river began to lift and I happened to be positioned just at the edge of it, I was struck by two different scenes that Nature presented.

These two photos were taken only two minutes apart, the first of a little window facing away from the fog and the sun and the second facing down stream into the fog and about ninety degrees from the sun, each making the world appear entirely differently. Such is the natural world.
