Hi there! ‘Tis the season for foggy weather here in Ireland. I think it is so beautiful when the sun burns through the fog, giving it a majestic look. It’s not quite as nice when there’s no sun, and it simply blocks your view. It reminds me that sometimes we have to move forward, going on faith.
There is so much that I am thankful for. Being someone who is quite conscious of gray, cloudy days, I am most especially grateful to see the sun showcase beauty in the mundane. It is also nice to have some frosty crystals thrown in there, too!
I’m fascinated how some flowers withstand the cold (roses and anemone, in my garden). This hydrangea was already past its prime when the frost hit. I still think it looks pretty.
The moss on the stone provides some lovely texture around this drooping anemone. The flower was back standing upright after the sun melted the frost away.
I wish I could convey to you the beauty and joy that this magical morning brought to me. This picture sums it up for me as it is looking towards the bright, beautiful foggy sunlight from the darkness. Sometimes it is hard when we can’t quite see through the fog or there seems to be lots of darkness. All I can do during those times is have faith and keep going. Because eventually, the fog will clear.
In Peace,
Dana

It is a very rare day that the fog does not disperse!
That is true Paddy, but where I live, it tends to linger much longer than it does in town (Dundalk). One day about a month ago, it was well after noon before it cleared for me (I was waiting to go biking!). 🙂
We live by a river and regularly have fog which lingers and then drive uphill towards the town centre and find all is clear.
So you know the feeling! It is lovely, though. 🙂
Lovely blogpost, Dana! I am not surprised. 🙂
Thank you, Fabio! You’re very kind. 🙂
Along the coast of Northern California it takes until noon to clear most of the time. It would be hard for me to live there all the time. Here in the valley it is less. Uplifting analogy in these dark times.
Hi Jean, That’s so neat to read how the different locations have different pockets of weather effects, like our fog not clearing until later. I’m glad I was able to lift the spirits a bit! ❤️
“…have faith and keep going. Because eventually, the fog will clear.” So true, Dana, both in weather and in life. This post made me a bit teary-eyed, but in a good way.
Ah, thank you so much Linda. Sometimes we forget that eventually, whatever phase we are in will pass, and we will move to the next phase. It’s so hard to remember that, though, when we’re in a hard place. Thanks so much for your message. ❤️
That anemone picture is GORGEOUS ❤
Foggy mornings are beautiful – when the sun's burning through. I've not had a frosty foggy morning yet, but we had some very heavy dew with ours over the weekend 🙂
Thank you, Rebecca. Mother nature can provide the most beautiful settings for us! 🙂
The anemone looks like it was dusted in crystals by a wee fairy.
I love how the frost beautifies things, but especially flowers! 🙂
