There's a stretch of weather that doesn't look good coming for this weekend. This is a field, shrouded in fog, that I pass often heading into the city. Days like this, in a time past, were outlets for coloring books, board games the likes of Monopoly, and Clue. It was also a time to shut the bedroom door, lie on the bed and pick up my copy of the latest Hardy Boys mystery. Shhhhh! I even enjoyed a guilty pleasure: hitting a few of my shag golf balls into the fog towards old man Bustin's house. Hey, I had to do something til the weather cleared.

Foggy Field

Hey there, Thanks for your comment on my blog. It made me look you up. Very nice. I'm following you. Its your own fault. John.
ReplyDeleteI like this foggy-weather image and that you didn't include watching television in your childhood list of things to do on a rainy day!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you remember this poem...
ReplyDeleteTHE fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Your mysterious fog doesn't look like it's going to move on, though.
Fog in summer - fog in winter.
ReplyDeleteFog always makes for photo opportunity.
Mysterious and lovely! I wouldn't mind having such a scene here instead of the 40ºC they said temperature will reach today!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo to go along with the memories it conjured up for you. Glad you liked the pickup truck on my blog today!
ReplyDeleteWhen you click on your photo and bring it right up, it's just the most beautiful, ethereal image ever Birdman. What an amazing shot, I just love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat foggy day photo for another foggy day. At this rate summer will be gone and we won't even know it was here.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful field even in the fog.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Yup. That is what I would see outside right now if I didn't live in a suburb where the fields are now filled with houses. Why complain? Sunday through Wednesday were as perfect as days get, and I just planted some grass seed and I need the moisture . . .
ReplyDeleteMy word verification was "glump," which I take as commentary supporting your views on the weather.
ReplyDeleteOh the good ole days of playing games and reading, I read Nancy Drew Mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLove that foggy day . . .softens everything.
ReplyDeleteI still like to curl up with a good mystery on a foggy day - if only I could!
ReplyDeleteOkay, but what are you doing now?!
ReplyDeleteWow! such a beautiful capture!
ReplyDelete& You do seem like a person who never gets bored-good for you.
; )
You know, I hardly ever think to take a foggy photo and I don't know why since I usually like them a lot when I see them other people's blogs, This is one I like.

Most people don't like it but I love fog. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteThat weather calls for napping and a good book....something I did as a kid and my own kids are not interested in!
ReplyDeleteLike something out of a dream.
