Foggy, foggy morning...

[fajrdrako]

When I got to work, some of my colleagues were complaining about the damp fog, but I love it. It makes everything beautiful and mysterious and different. The fog had burned off by mid-morning, but I'd taken pictures on my way to the bus stop.

1. Walking the Dogs

I often see this gentleman walking his dogs as I approach my bus stop. In the winter, they had a hard time jumping over the snow banks on their short legs,
and he murmurs encouragement.

2. The Yellow Tree

One tree has kept its yellow leaves still through snow, rain, and wind.

3. Third Avenue



4. Trees in the Mist



5. The Last Leaves

Lingering.


6. Jack O'Lanterns

I thought these pumpkins looked more sinister than they did a week ago at Halloween: they've been frozen, frosted, snowed on, rained on, and still they watch.

I loooooooooove fog.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

So do I! I always enjoy walking in fog.

Dachshunds!

Your neighborhood is so pretty - it reminds me of one I once lived in - Media, Pennsylvania

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, when I've been to Pennsylvania, it sometimes reminds me of Eastern Ontario - not all of it, not Philadelphia, but places like Erie. I like the State.

Wonderful!

You've got a great eye for shots! :-D

I can't say I like fog very much, though Tom loves seeing it in the Tyne River valley behind our house while we at the top of the hill are not in the fog.

Thanks for the kind comments about my pictures. I'm really going to have to arrange my time or attention to take pictures of something other than just Third Avenue - but it's fun.

I think it's great! Nice to get a feel for where you live. :-)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

It's giving me a different way of looking at things, too.

Very nice! I especially like The Yellow Tree, because of the colors in the fog, and The Last Leaves on their branches.

I may not have the "foggiest" sense of photographic Art ... you are well ahead of me, and my (pictorial) absence would therefore not be "mist".

[Sorry, my mind is into word-play as usual. :-)]

Very beautiful, my dear.

Sigh. I could do without the puns, but thanks for the kind words.

Julia Sauer wrote _Fog Magic_, a short but excellent middle-grade book you might enjoy. Your library should have it.

Also, you might want to look up the O. Henry story "The Last Leaf," since you insist on posting beautiful pictures that remind me of it. There was also a very cool 1/2 hour video with Art Carney.

Thanks for the suggestion - my library does have Fog Magic, so I ordered it.

[filkferengi]

Let me know what you think.
