This is what greeted us this morning . . . fog, fog, and more fog . . .
These are actual digital, color photos unretouched. I did NOT change them to black and white. The fog seems to suck the color out of everything. Pretty amazing.
Check back here tonight . . . I feel a contest coming on!!!!!
Hello folks! I am back just now —- midnight Monday night. I have a morning appointment today and a wetland tour in the afternoon so I will come back here Tuesday evening to post properly! Thanks for all the great comments on previous post! Glad to be back home! BW
First things first. We’ve had tons of rain from the outer bands of Hurricane Harvey – although nothing compared to what the coast of TX and Houston have endured.

But while high humidity can make us feel like we’re smothering, one member of the plant kingdom actually thrives on the damp air. Tillandsia usneoides, or Spanish moss, depends on the moist air for…
There were several title options for the post. And there are so many things I’d like to include, or should I break things up and spread things out over time?

Stunning! Although, I would be afraid to be on water in those surrondings.
Spooky…
