. . . . . . .fogged in!

A stratus cloud that touches ground level is referred to as fog. Water vapor condenses and mixes in the cool air, forming tiny wet droplets.  It can reduce visibility and cause life to take pause and slow down. The formation of stratus clouds occurs when a sheet of cool air passes under a sheet of moist, warm air. Stratus is the Latin word meaning to spread out or layer.

This morning............

Personally I like a foggy morning. Shrouds of grey enveloping the trees behind the house, muted sounds, silence. Staying indoors, I glance through the windows and see a blank slate for the day ahead. Nothing stirs. When the sun breaks through the colors start to glow. . . . . . . . and life goes on.

Fogged in -

It was quite a memorable weekend around here.

Saturday morning started like this.

Fog thick as pea soup.

First dogwood blooms opening.

 

Chilly and damp when I stepped out early

 to take these photos.

Muffled sounds in the distance of the

 Saturday traffic going who knows where.

Birds, such as this male Eastern bluebird, seeking an

 early breakfast - love the washed out colors of

 damp feathers through the fog.

More later on how the day progressed.

I'm behind because we were without any power

 for seven hours later that day!!!
