What would you do if every day for the past couple of weeks brought fog and rain into your hometown and your camera was packed away? You’d do what Christine, Marlene and I did. One day, it wasn’t raining, but fog was still hanging out as a fine mist. We took our cameras out for a walk in the fog!

Actually, I enjoy photographing in fog. It adds a mood to the images. We chose to visit nearby Gibson Ranch, which has been featured in this blog a few times.

Our visit was mostly around the pond since they closed access to some of the trails. But that was okay because I don’t like being out in the damp air for too long. The geese came out of the water when they saw us thinking we had food.

We found some horses out in a pasture.

We also walked over to the stables where we found a couple of barn quilts. These are designs painted on wood.

And, how lucky could I get. I found rust! My friends weren’t interested in these old farm equipment pieces, but I was.

I’ll end with one of the two peacocks I saw roaming the grounds. However, he wouldn’t cooperate and spread his tail feathers.

This ends my adventure in the fog. My visit was on December 22nd. We’ve had one sunny day since then. You know what I’m wishing for in the new year!

    1. The one nice thing about California is its median weather. We haven’t had damp, rainy weather for weeks for a long time. That’s why we are always fighting with drought. I guess we can’t have our cake and eat it too!

  6. You have the knack for making fog look beautiful, Anne. We are in Arizona now to get away from the constant fog and overcast in Spokane and when we lived in Sacramento. Yuck. The good thing about Sacramento fog is you can drive up 50 or 80 a few miles and escape it.

    Happy New Year to you!

  13. That looks and sounds much like the weather we’ve been ‘enjoying’ in England for the last few weeks! I’m glad you got out and about with your camera and showed us how photogenic foggy conditions can be. Of course I love the rust and also those barn quilts – what a great idea!

    1. Yes, we would have fun if we lived near each other! Happy New Year to you too. I’m hoping for a better year. It’s not starting out well. I’ve been deleted from Facebook! My account was hacked and they apparently started selling stuff.
