Marvelous Misty Fog!

The summer warms up our lake water to about 75 degrees.

When autumn comes, the cold air meets the evaporating lake and pond waters and we often get a few mornings of misty fog on them.

One morning, I was lucky enough to wake up to witness this event, and of course got dressed, grabbed my camera and went down to our lake to get some shots. It was before we lost all of our colored leaves, so you can see them across the lake in some of the shots too.

Here was the great scene that greeted me:

This was our path going down to the dock, where I could see glimpses of the wonderful lake fog ahead:

To the left side of our little bay, looking out at the fog:

The same view, another angle:

Fog and autumn color on the lake:




This was a pond near where we live.

Frost on the banks and fog on the water, a photographer's treat!:

If you just look about you,

nature provides photo opportunities for you all the time.

The trick is to see its beauty and to capture it quickly.

If you wait too long, nature changes things and whispers:

"You missed it!"
