Misty Morning

With all the snow, sleet and freezing rain we've had recently, it was a relief this morning to wake up and find ... fog! And not a pea soup variety but a gentle, mysterious, romantic kind of fog that softens the landscape and turns the trees into ghostly sentinels.

Here is a form of water molecule that we can handle, one that doesn't need to be shoveled or sprinkled with melting crystals. 

Given the Arctic cold assaulting the midsection of the country, we're lucky today to have what we have: not hard sub-zero temps but puddles of melted ice draped with mist and brume.
