A Misty Moisty Morning

You had to be up and about early to see 'em, but we've had a few foggy mornings lately. So here are some photos of one of the less appreciated beauties of the Spring and early Summer.



This post should have a soundtrack.....think of the soft, sleepy cooing of Wood Pigeons...



….the steady drip of dew from the overhanging branches.....



….and the rustling waters of the little stream....



….the piercing call of a Woodpecker as it flies away....



….the swish of the calves' feet as they saunter through the long wet grass.....



It's so calm and quiet this morning that I could even hear the whisper of the Heron's wing as it lifted overhead.....



The dew made the spiders' webs visible on the meadow grass....



…..somewhere a Blackbird is melodiously singing....



…..the old horse lifts its head from grazing as distant church bells begin to chime....



I put my camera into its bag and with squelchy wet feet I head for home.


Take care.

  6. How lovely! Your photos are wonderful. I especially enjoy the fourth one, and am imagining the piercing call of the woodpecker in the misty silence.

  19. Beautiful shots...fog is like snow: it improves any shot. I love being out when it is foggy but so dangerous to be driving in it.

  22. You included the perfect audio for your photos! My mom used to sing a song that began, “Misty moisty was the morn, and frosty was the weather.” Going to have to look up the rest of it as I don’t remember and now I’m curious!
