~A Foggy Day-A Study in Black and White~

The fog comes in
On little cat feet.

It sits looking
Over harbor and city
On silent haunches
And then moves on.

Fog by Carl Sandburg


Foggy days make my eyes feel like they are just not awake yet, and I should get right back in bed!
There is a unique beauty in fog, a blurring, a melding of black and white. A meeting place of frozen ground and warm air. A hint that spring is slowly creeping up, and the world will once again be filled with bright, invigorating splashes of color from one end of the spectrum to the other. And this is the moment of awakening as the earth opens her eyes after a long winters rest, but...she's just not ready to get out of bed yet! That's okay ol' girl...just take your time...but hurry up!!
Blessings~
