Waiting for the fog to clear

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
