Blossoms in the Fog...

It has been an interesting mix of winter and spring lately with cold foggy mornings that later turn into beautiful sun-filled afternoons.  Trees are starting to blossom and early spring flowers are beginning to appear where once there was only earth.

The ritual of a morning walk is one of my favorite ways to start the day, even in the colder weather.  I bundle up with my hat and a scarf and go out for fresh air, exercise and a few moments with nature.  This quiet time always refreshes me and prepares me for the day ahead...

One of the qualities I most appreciate in a misty morning is the way the atmosphere envelopes the surrounding trees.  On clear days I barely notice the air I breathe but in the fog it becomes a real and tangible part of my experience.  It wraps itself around me and then fades out to white...

Even though these pictures are of the early spring trees blossoming, the experience of the morning mist is what stands out in my memory.  I think this set will always bring me peace... I hope it is the same for you.

Have a wonderful week!
