Foggy morning just before Christmas
While I wouldn’t want to live in a climate where it’s foggy all the time, I do love the occasional fog in the winter—thick like pea soup, only vague shapes visible, sounds muffled so much you can hear dewdrops hit the ground. That’s what I woke up to today. An early Christmas present from Mother Nature!

Aeonium doing the opposite: it’s getting ready to bloom

Our house looks like it’s disconnected from the rest of the world

Spider web between × Mangave ‘Macho Mocha’ leaves. These webs were not there yesterday so somebody’s been very busy!
Very atmospheric isn't it when fog descends? Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you guys as well. No fog on Christmas day, "just" blue sky and golden winter sunlight.
DeleteWow, that's a thick fog! Where I grew up the fog would come in heavy and fill up the valley beneath our house, we could look out across it like a lake to the mountains on the other side. Pretty fabulous...
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds incredible. No hills or valley here in Davis, just flatland. And yes, the fog was eerily thick. The most amazing thing was the quiet.
