Fog
February 6, 2008
It has been really foggy here the past couple days. The temperature has warmed and there has been a fine misty rain falling. The snow is finally melting and in places the brown grass can be seen poking out.
As you drive down the road the fog obscures everything except for that which is right in front of you.
In the car today my 10 yr old son said, “It feels like we are all alone in the world.”

Alone, with 6 siblings - that’s interesting….
February 6th, 2008 at 10:10 pmI love fog!
February 6th, 2008 at 10:12 pmWhat a weird feeling that would be to be all alone in the world. It started out foggy here today and then the snow came and it hasn’t left yet.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:12 pmThat is an amazing picture!!! I absolutely love it.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:15 pmGorgeous photo! It’s incredible.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:21 pmWow, great shot. It does make me feel kinda lonely…
February 6th, 2008 at 10:27 pmYou obviously have created a paradise, to be all alone and secluded only allowing those who are welcome into your paradise seems really awesome.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:32 pmBeautiful picture
February 6th, 2008 at 11:12 pmThat’s what it’s looked like here in Nebraska the last couple of days too. Except we have snow on the ground.
February 6th, 2008 at 11:22 pmI love this picture!
February 7th, 2008 at 12:09 amI’ve been reading your blog for awhile, I love the way you do short and simple, but so full of life, I am inspired by some of the things I see here.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:56 amWhen I saw this post I decided I just wasn’t able to restrain the comments any longer.
We lived in Alaska for a number of years and had many a winter full of ice fog on and off.
I so agree with your son’s thought about feeling alone in it. A thought that comes with that feeling in my mind was the very still and pronounced quiet that was present also. Kind of like standing all alone in the middle of some woodland during a big snow fall. Flakes just drifting down ever so gently, nothing to hear but that deep, serene and muffled silence. It’s almost like being in a dream.
The picture was beautiful, your family is lovely, your blog is special, very much enjoyed. Thank you
Ooooow you need to go see the move Mist … spoooooooky!!
February 7th, 2008 at 4:16 amSometimes i feel like that too.
Beautiful photo, there’s this fantastic delicacy between the fine sharp branches and that soft fog. You inspire me to get my camera out more often!
February 7th, 2008 at 5:40 amSometimes if it’s really early in the AM, with no traffic, I’ll get a shiver because it suddenly feels like the world ended and somebody forgot to tell me . .
February 7th, 2008 at 6:37 amthats a beautiful picture
February 7th, 2008 at 9:12 amIt is ethereal.
I believe spring is just around the bend.
February 7th, 2008 at 9:41 amI love that feeling. You suddenly feel so tuned in, because nature has forced a little peace and quiet.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:01 amBeautiful.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:01 amThat looks like a shot from the movie The Outsiders.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:31 amAnd by the Outsiders I of course meant The Others (the Nicole Kidman movie).
Chris says: Ha! I was trying to picture where this would be in the Outsiders…like is there a rumble in the fog
February 7th, 2008 at 11:37 amOh to dream.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:16 pmI guess that’s why the fog is often referred to as a blanket, hushing, soft, ushering in total transformations. Love that photo.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:19 pmim with maddy…reminds me of the mist. but great picture.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:44 pmWhat a gorgeous shot. Are you enjoying your digital SLR? Do you recommend it to others?
Chris says: Yes, I love it! I can’t wait to figure out what it does beyond the automatic settings
February 7th, 2008 at 2:01 pmBeautiful picture! Makes me wish I were there. As long as I didn’t get snowed in.
February 7th, 2008 at 3:48 pmI love the depth of field and leading lines in that picture - awesome shot!!!!
I love the fog.
February 7th, 2008 at 4:25 pmIf that photo were a cover to a book, I’d read it!! :o)
February 7th, 2008 at 4:51 pmBeing from SF (and I seem to mention that every chance I get on your blog)
February 7th, 2008 at 4:53 pmI love fog. Love the smell, the serenity, all of it. Great picture!!

I stared at this picture for a while trying to figure out what the white thing was underneath the tree. It finally dawned on me that it could be a pile of snow.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:52 pmI suppose that’s what happens when you live in Texas and have never seen more than an oh-so-light dusting of the stuff.
Oh Chris once you go manual you’ll never go back!!!!!!!!!
