Morning Mist

 There was a discussion on breakfast news this morning about the difference between mist and fog.  Some areas woke up to fog this morning but I think here it would have been classed as mist.

It wrapped around the garden like a flimsy cloak.

Hanging damply in the trees over the hedge in the little school nature reserve where Mr Fox lives.

There were cobwebs everywhere made visible by the dew.

Drops of moisture shivered and fell from tree branches.

And bright berries shone out in the gloom

The first morning in October that has looked and felt Autumnal.

It's amazing how many flowers there are still in the garden, some usually seen in late Spring and summer.

Hardy Geranium

Hardy Begonia

Clematis

Hydrangea

As I write this the mist has lifted and a weak sun has made an appearance.  We've had an hour in the garden dead heading, cutting back and clearing some of the debris of summer.  It's time to cosy up with a good book and a mug of tea.

Take care.
