Fog

[DancingLady]

Do you enjoy looking at your garden on a foggy morning? I grew up in the Portland area where November and December were very foggy months. Nearly every morning there would be lots of fog until the sun came up and burned it off. I grew to really love the unique beauty it gives to the landscape.

A fellow Pacific Northwestner! I live up in Washington and we do get a lot of fog here too. I love a nice foggy morning, especially when there is frost all over everything. I do not like the very dense for that we sometimes get that does not allow you to see anything more than 10 feet in front of you though.

Don't mind a foggy morning, as long as it burns off and doesn't last all day.

You don't want to be near the Portland fog horn when it goes off

Now that my husband has retired and I don't have to worry about him driving to and from work in the fog, I really like fog. When it starts to burn off, there is still a lingering mist in the low spots in the pasture, and over the pond. I just love the look of it (also it means the grass is too wet to mow!).

That must be in Portland Maine, I have never heard a fog horn, but I'm sure it would be pretty loud to penetrate through all the moisture in the air and get far out to sea where they need to hear it.

I live in Missouri. We have a fair amount of fog here too. I think it may have to do with the high level of clay in the soil. I love the look of fog in the garden or even the yard. My boys and I were walking the other day and there was just a little fog and moisture close to the ground. We noticed in a yard that you could see spider webs going from one blade of grass to the next one. Hundreds of little spider strings glittering when the light hit them. It was so pretty.

I used to live about 3 miles from the Northumberland coast, so we'd often get foggy mornings where you could only see tens of meters in front of you. Now that we're inland (Manchester), it's such a rare occurrence - I can only remember a couple of times in the past 10 years that we've seen bad fog. One of those times was a 4am drive to the airport and I must have been driving about 30 miles an hour on the motorway as it was so hard to see anything at all.

I have a caravan on the shore of Luce Bay in Scotland.
Sometimes you can just watch a blanket of fog roll in, before becoming engulfed in it.
Awesome.
What really does it for me with fog though, is not the sight, it's the silence.

We had fog here in Texas yesterday. It was nice. But when I woke up this morning and I saw the fog again, I wasn't very thrilled. And they say it might last for days! Once a year is enough for me.

I did not realize that the inner states of the country got fog as I always thought it had something to do with the ocean, good to know. Fog can be magical, especially when Christmas lights are shining through it.

Actually i love to watch the fog spreading it's wings across the mountains..there is something magical about it and i like the mist that's form on the leaves of the flowers especially the roses....this is nature at it's very best...so nostalgic !
