On still winter mornings,
the mists of time veil
the forest in gossamer light.
The only sound from
vapor'ed breath and quickened
heartbeat as familiar paths
drift away.
Landmarks stand in faded silhouette
like distant memories.
like distant memories.
Uneasy wariness descends,
as craggy fingers search for light.
as craggy fingers search for light.
A shadowed creature appears in the gloom.
Breath is held, heart stops beating.
Frozen fear,
then silence breaks -'Baaaaaaa'.
Relief.
You smile.
But all seems strange.
Another world.
Another time.
Is it illusion?
Or a forgotten dream.

Great foggy pics! Since in my neck of the woods there's often fog, I really appreciate these! Love the one with the moss on the bark of the trees.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fog photos and such a beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures and I love misty, foggy days. So mysterious and fun to think the clouds come down to be with us! Thanks for your comment on my blog...it is fun to know you have similar days to mine!
ReplyDeleteI like these foggy misty scenes. Great fence shots and the sheep was a surprise. Pretty post and images. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!

ReplyDeleteGreat foggy presentation. Thankful we do not get that much here.
What beautiful photos! It is very atmospheric! xx
ReplyDeleteeerie and enveloping but so beautiful! thanks, karen!
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, how hauntingly beautiful! I absolutely loved this post, my friend. I have always loved the fog and when I lived in Canada I got to see it quite often, but living in the mountains I hardly get to enjoy it :) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and joy to you!
So ethereal and haunting Karen! Love it!! So pretty - and the sheep was a favorite part. Lol ;)

ReplyDeletemysterious but with a beauty that draws you on and in!
A wonderful post!
The series of photo's are very mystical and spooky but beautifully done. I really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the fog well.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I absolutely love the misty fog. I grew up in the Bay Area, CA and I awoke to that mysterious fog many mornings. Your pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos, Karen! Fog has always been my favorite weather condition. I find it enchanting.
ReplyDeleteI sure would be hard pressed to choose a favorite shot of these...I love misty, foggy shots. Mist/fog is like snow--makes the ordinary, sometimes even ugly, seem beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured some wonderful shots of fog. It must be beautiful to experience it in person.....
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful and almost mystical post. I love the photos and prose. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteDear Karen,
ReplyDeleteLove all your beautiful misty photos and all looks so magical. Such lovely words to take you right there. thanks for sharing.
Happy weekend
Hugs

Greetings Karen, I too loved seeing your misty photos of winter's lovliness. We had fog roll in here last night and it was magical. It reminded me of those Sherlock Holmes movies set in fog strewn London. Hope all is well with you and your lovely family. Hugs, Pat
ReplyDeleteDearest Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou can show us very intimate photos from another world that did diminish in size. But seeing things and animals that mean no harm is comforting!
Enjoy a cozy weekend inside your lovely home.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Karen, my dear friend, thank you for those lovely and misty pictures! I love them!

Hugs, Claudia xo
Some quite surreal snaps at times. I love foggy pictures but don't like to be out in it so much.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Sublime photos, Karen! Bellisomo!
ReplyDeleteWow I love the fog in the morning especially in the wood.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Friday, Karen!!!
Trees Through the Mist. Perhaps a new film title?
ReplyDeleteQuite spooky! Your wonderful mountain has disappeared! Enjoy your weekend x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in a very otherworldly and mysterious way !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! You have great photography skills which tells a great tale! Have a wonderful weekend! Lynn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and you have a creative way of bringing us along with you on the misty morning walk. Love the surprise of the sheep!
ReplyDeleteWonderful misty images, Karen! Mist makes even the ordinary extraordinary and your mountains and forests are always spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely texts too. Have a great weekend! xx

What a great post. Those "misty/foggy" fence shots were fantastic. The prose you added to them just made everything come alive. I really enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteThe misty photos are beautiful, Karen! I always enjoy seeing views of your world.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, sweet friend! xo
Love the magical fog photos. I do hope to get some myself one day.
ReplyDeleteFantastic fog pictures, it always gives this feel of what is beyond, love the one where you can barely see the sheep. Like the words you gave to the pictures too! Have a most enjoyable weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt looks absolutely eerie!
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy capturing foggy day.. I often hope to find a lonely animal alone in the mist and wonder how it finds it's self around...and sometime one's own thoughts are carried away and you can scare your self silly in the fog covered path as you walk along...
ReplyDeleteAll lovely photo images...like number 1 photo cause that one could be the scene that could get yourself lost in thought of never seeing ahead and being lost --wink!!!
So so lovely! Beautifully written and beautifully photographed, Karen. And I love the quote at the end. I look forward to the possibility of a misty woodland scene close to my home!
