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
Foxglove
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.
The mist makes everything looking a little bit magical this time of year. Still plenty of colour in your garden. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you B. Yes, quite a lot of colour but it is fading fast now, except the berries:)
DeleteI love the photos of the mist and dew droplets in your garden Rosie. It was misty here all day - so autumnal! Lovely to see the colour in your garden from the flowers and berries. Blackbirds have started eating our pyracantha berries. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you Caroline, I've seen a few blackbirds around the garden, they ate all the berries last year but don't seem to have found them yet this year:)
DeleteDefinitely a misty, moisty morning and so atmospheric. It's just been dull here. 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you CK, yes dull here to day and damp in the air too:)
DeleteAlthough I prefer bright sunny days, there's just something so magical about misty, autumn mornings. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jules, yes there is a magic about those mornings, it's the later dreary November fogs I'm not keen on:)
DeleteLovely autumnal colours. The grey mist and fog make the autumn colours pop brighter! Hope you are well Rosie. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Simone, the berries shone brightly in the mist. I'm feeling a little better now, I hope you are too:)
