it was forty degrees when i changed into my walking clothes and hiking boots late yesterday afternoon and i raised a "want to come with me" eyebrow towards my hubby. he looked at me and smiled.
a thick and extremely wet fog had engulfed our entire town and was holding it hostage and i was determined to get up close and personal with it.
usually by this time of the year, my ability to see mother nature's beauty has dwindled and i pout, but not yesterday. yesterday i saw a stillness and a softness and even a spookiness that took my breath away. the ground beneath our feet didn't make a noise, even though it was still covered in leaves. instead, it was soft and quiet and i think somehow mother nature knew that "she" had thrown out her version of a red carpet for us to walk on.
my baby has been housebound for too long now. days have been spent kicking and screaming and without the darling personality she came home with, but yesterday, she was a happy camper. she cooperated beautifully and loved being out in the fog just as much as i did. i'll never really worry about her or any of her siblings and being outside with them. they were all born weatherproof. snort.
when we finished our walk and were heading towards the car, i noticed how damp our clothes were. my hubby said, "it was like walking through a cloud" and i smiled. it truly was just like that.
i'm so grateful he's retired now and gets to do spur of the moment, middle of the day things with me. blessed, i tell you. we are truly blessed.
I just love walking in the fog. Seems surreal and almost like you're in a fantasy world all alone...beautiful pictures. We have a fair amount of days in fog, and I enjoy them as long as they don't last for days on end. Then it begins to feel mildly claustrophobic. Blessed. What a beautiful gift.
ReplyDeleteLove the fog. Your new baby did a mighty fine job. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you are blessed! Lovely moody shots!
ReplyDeleteOhhh- they are stunning in their soft and dreamy tones of nature nestling down for a long sleep. You got it~ you so got it!
ReplyDeleteBlessed indeed. A beautiful cloud walk.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful description...like walking through a cloud. Glad you got to take your new baby out for some fun time!
ReplyDeleteSo enchanting and peaceful! I love walking through fog.
ReplyDeleteawesome that you were able to share a wonderful moment, then come back home to a shower and hot 'tea' or something similar. good job.
ReplyDeleteTruly blessed. Truly beautiful. I love it!
ReplyDeleteReading of your blessings sweet friend lights my heart up...Walking in the cloud with your sweetheart, now that's cool :-)
ReplyDeleteIt has been gorgeous out there in a mystical kind of way. Also very chilly.
ReplyDeleteI loved this! Thinking seriously myself of retiring within the next year. I felt as if I were walking beside you, could almost hear the quiet.
ReplyDeleteLovely foggy walk with your honey and your baby! Life is good!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I don't want to say that nature is ever ordinary, but you really do take the ordinary and turn it into something magical. The leaf hanging.... To some it's just a leaf, but to you and your camera, it's so much more. (And hooray for having a husband who enjoys the things that you do. Cloud walking today; who knows what tomorrow will bring.)
ReplyDeleteI love walking in the fog. I don't think I've ever taking photos in it tho. I need to try that. I'm glad you got out to enjoy the beauty of the day. xo
ReplyDeleteI just love walking in the fog. It's so quiet and the photo opps are so very different that you just have to take advantage! Very pretty photos you've posted!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, I just found your blog and I am so impressed your photography is absolutely amazing; you have such a gifted eye for the camera. The coloring and the composition is right-on perfection.
ReplyDeleteI am a retired wife, mom and grandma who enjoys life to its fullest. My goal is to be sitting on my porch at age 100 and looking back at a life well spent :) Your blog is so full of fresh inspiration that I am going to add you to my blog list, so that I don't miss out on any of your fabulous photos. Please come visit and if you like my blog (only if you like it) please follow me back :) I love making new friends and sharing creative ideas.

I've seen a lot of fog here in the south and I'm wondering if it's like that at home -- you're closer to home than I am, so my guess is yes! Lovely photos indeed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
