This is what it looked like this morning as Mommy walks G2 to his Junior Kindergarden class. I still tend to think that 4 years old is too young for school but oh my he is loving it…now. It’s a good thing Daddy always has his camera at the ready.
Meanwhile G1 takes off in the other direction to call on his best friend.
Fog has a feeling of comfort for me like I’m all wrapped from head to toe and I love walking in the fog. The sounds are all muted and while it feels like I am alone for some reason I feel more connected to the earth, to the universe. It isn’t really a separation in spite of the isolation. More like an inclusion – in everything.
We’ve had two days of early morning fog and it may be awhile before we see anymore of it. Meanwhile I just choose to savor the feeling of oneness. And now of course I have this beautiful photo to revisit the moment.

Lovely photo Chris, it captures the mood that comes with a foggy day which gives everything a feeling of stillness and muted sounds.

what a beautiful photo – just stunning. I too love the quietness of fog, like a blanket of comfort over the land.

It is amazing Joss how fog does bring quiet of a different sort!!

Growing up in London with the terrible fog/smog I don’t have an affinity with fog at all.

Hahaha I do remember the English fog. Here it is a fairly rare occurrence so is always a treat!

I agree about the enlargement and maybe framing even so you could re-discover that lovely blanket of fog!
October 31, 2012 at 8:56 am
What a good idea! I must mess around a bit with framing and yes I think fog is a lovely blanket!

That is a beautiful photo, worthy of an enlargement I think.. I used to love the fogs in Britain but only if I was not driving,. There is a particular stillness. The air is suspended.. listening. c

Oh Miss C you are so right about the stillness of the fog. Fortunately I never watch horror movies about malevolent fogs so it remains a friendly peaceful place for me. Good luck tomorrow! I am very excited!

I feel as you do about fog, Chris. It’s cozy. Makes me want to curl up with a book. I love your new header image.
Hugs,

Thanks Kathy. I thought I would be brave and try different headers but did not realize I would have to set the whole page up again!
