Ground fog

It was striking! Driving by the fields near home, the fog rose from the red soil into the quiet air. 





After days of rain, the soil and air were saturated. 





It had been cold overnight and with the morning light, the sun warmed everything. 





The ground fog rising from the long field was eerily beautiful.





I had my camera as I often do and on our way to the boardwalk, we stopped to take in the scene. 





The fog didn’t have much elevation nor was it thick but it stopped traffic in several places as people admired the phenomenon.





Nature often surprises us!

In the past we have seen mist coming up from remaining snow in early spring. It won't happen this year, but it is neat to see.

Just enough to give an eerie effect!

Fog is such an enjoyable thing to photograph. It is secret and mysterious and usually gone in hours..

I love these photos that remind me of winter nights descending on our Cambridgeshire Fens when fog like that seems to rise from the ground. I remember once seeing what looked like legless horses afloat on a sea of fog.

Fog in the morning welcoming the coming day with a little air of mystery. (pun intended) Very beautiful Marie.

Fog does tend to get quite photogenic, and this is a good example of that.

Magical and mystical.
We very rarely have ground fogs, and they are always a treat to see.

Thanks for your visit to my blog. I like what I'm seeing here on your blog and plan on following you. These foggy scenes are beautiful.

Marie, thanks for letting me know your comments were not registering on my blog. I discovered JUST TODAY- the last day of the challenge - that a lot of the comments weren't registering. They were all sitting in SPAM!! I had 160 comments sitting in SPAM and some of those single line items respresented more comments. So I am going through that folder down and pulling out the REAL comments and posting them to the blog. Some of yours should be showing up now. It was pretty frustrating to me - I usually have about 7-10 comments on a post - and a few posts were not registering anything. And yet the traffic going through was pretty large. Not sure why this happened, but I am back tracking now to correct that.

That ground fog or we sometimes call it tulle fog is so pretty.
I'm glad you could capture it...It has a magical quality to it.
It pays to have your camera with you.
Have a wonderful day.

I like the mists rising from the damp playing fields near our house. Magic.
