The Lovely Fog

 Wednesday morning I woke early. I peeked through the blinds and smiled.

Fog.

Yet another facet of nature I cannot get enough of.

Now, I'm aware of the horribleness of driving in fog. I grew up by a river in Northern California, after all. Yet when it rolls along the water and rests on the trees, I can't help but think of Mr. Rochester and the romantic eeriness of English countrysides. And I get giddy. Real giddy.

I used both my SLR and camera phone to try to capture the foggy beauty. Hiking up and down rocks and slippery grass and wet sand... what an adventure we had at 7 am!


Can you make out that fishing boat in the distance?
It was quite a sight to behold in person.

Along the levee.









Do you love fog as much as I?
By the way, my sweater was buy one get one free at H&M.
Jeans are Skinny Kicks by American Eagle.

Ohmigosh I LOVE these shots! Is it weird that fog always makes me think of the Loch Ness Monster? :D

P.S. Your outfit is so cute!! :)

YES.

I love foggy mornings. It always feels like something magical could happen.

Kate Harvey said...

These photos are so haunting and eerie--you're right, so much like the moody English countryside...

I'm obsessed with fog. On foggy mornings, on my drive to school, I see cows in the fog and it makes my heart hurt.

I hate, hate driving through fog but love, love going through fog slowly. I wish i had gone to the English countryside when I lived there, but France can be foggy too!

p.s. Yes I like Bare Minerals. I hope you like it if you try it!

Aside from driving in the fog, yes I absolutely love FOG. Mostly I am enamored when the sung comes through the branches and the fog exposes the rays... It's brilliant. So hard to capture, but brilliant.

What beautiful photography! I love the fog also--it makes everything so hushed and mysterious, like walking though a Gothic novel.

The photograph of the fishing boat is my favorite. It looks like a professional shot people would hang up in their office.

These are great pictures! It really doesn't get foggy here. At least, not like that!

Wow! The fog is kind of beautiful and eerie at the same time! 7AM?!!! Are you a morning person?

I'd love to get up and be productive at that time of day.

Best wishes,

Fog is cool for like five seconds--then I get annoyed because I can't see.
