Fog transformed our view of the world on Tuesday, lending mystery and enchantment.
All day damp tendrils clung to grasses and leaves, giving a soft focus to all. Scents of passing animals lingered in the still air, exciting the noses of our faithful friends. Sounds carried clearly through the mist – the sharp bark of a far-off dog, rustlings and creakings in the undergrowth.
Thin shaves of ice rimmed the ponds, the water reflecting a pale sun valiantly trying to burn through.
Trees loomed like silent friendly giants, sheltering birds in their strong arms.
A patch of bright green showed off its sparkling diamonds, the taller grasses around protecting the treasure.
The sun made one last brave attempt to challenge the haze, casting its shafts between the branches of the dark trees, to no avail. It was too late. The day - a November day of quiet and solitude - had been slow to awaken and would soon return to slumber.

These photos are gorgeous, stunning. I especially loved the 4th & 5th - perfect reflections in the 4th, and the 5th, just amazing, those ghostly trees watching over the figure walking. Beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Janice. The word that comes to mind is "ethereal" but I can't enlarge upon it.
ReplyDeleteI think of the dogs hearing far-off noises that come to them on foggy days. What do they think? Or, perhaps they hear those far-off sounds every day, but humans don't.
Fog is mysterious, and makes one wonder.
