Autumn mornings here are foggy. It seems, on first glance, that we are in for another cloudy day. A consultation with online weather reveals that it’s supposed to be clear. Then you realize that the hillside across the street is shrouded in mystery.
By ten o’clock the fog will have burned away and the day will indeed be sunny. Okay, the real reason for this post is I just really like these photos and wanted to share them with you. They were taken by my son Justin, who wanted a better background for his computer’s virtual desktop. (In my day, they called it wallpaper, but I’ve never seen wallpaper like this.) Justin is eleven. Digital cameras, so easy a child can use them. Here’s another one I like:

It’s the bluish light that makes the grass photo so pretty. I like them all, but this is my favorite too. Great job. Foggy mornings are pretty, and I love it when the day clears and the sun warms these lovely Sept. days. Cold tonight though. Think we might have a frost. I hope not!!!! I want more tomatoes and beans…not to mention flowers!
Lovely photos all, but I like the last one best too.
One of my favorite things about plant closeups is that they allow you to see the beauty of things you often miss otherwise.
Oh, I love the last photo most of all. But fog, fog, is something I covet. Thanks again for all your help.
Smoke and fires are on their way out. It’s just 63 and delightful here today.

I look forward to foggy mornings. So peaceful and beautiful. The photos have captured the scene and work well together, one connected to the other–I like them all. Grasses are such fun to photograph.
Another vote for the grass photo.
It sure looks better in that photo than it does in my garden!
Now that is wallpaper! Nice photos!
I like the grass one best as well.
Awsome pictures for such a young photographer!
