The fog enveloped the city last evening, like a stretch of wet cotton, and our hair survived! After a busy day that included renting a splitter and taking care of a cord or so of wood, stopping by to see Jay our financial planner, heading over to Sonny's Restaurant on Exchange Street for appetizers of mussels and scallops, we ended up at Eastern Prom for a concert by Jimmy and the Soulcats at the Fort Allen Park bandstand. The night was filled with lots of fine blues' riffs in a pea soup fog. Even with the heavy 'wetness' all about, a hundred or so enjoyed their picnic dinners and the music on the hillside This lone gull was taking it all in atop the bandstand. No complaints here!
You are so GULLible! I mean, really - you expect me to say that you're always lost in a fog, right? Well, that's just too easy, although I was in a hairbreadths of doing just that.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Curly! Heh, heh!
But the gull found its usual vantage point :-)
ReplyDeleteand all enjoyed themselves - that's the main thing.
ReplyDeleteFog?! The kind of thing that does not exist in my small corner of the world..So, I like it , miss it, want it! :o)
ReplyDeleteThe 'blues' and a pea soup fog, excellent combination..moody!
ReplyDeletePerfect and I think the pea soup adds to the effect!

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. That roof could be here, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy day you've had and ended it with a great fog foto.
ReplyDeleteSound like a fine day accomplishing tasks, eating good food, and listening to fine music. Just the sort of day I would like to write about too. Now I need to go get something done.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that looks like l'hiver all of a sudden...
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, did it again... :-)
I think that gull is a fan of the blues!
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes sounds are even richer in the fog...Perhaps my sensitivity to audio increases with limited visibility of details...Love that lone guy up there.
ReplyDeleteRe Art in the Park~postponed until Sunday. I'll leave you a reply note over at my blog about it.
After a day like that, you feel like you really lived and accomplished something, don't you?
