Southern Maine had rain and fog yesterday and last night.
I took this shot early this morning.
Puddles had formed in the hayfield,
and the crows were taking advantage of them to bathe.
I didn’t get a clear shot of that, but this is what the scene looked like.
48º at 4:30 in the afternoon!

Wow. Beautiful, beautiful image!
Thanks so much. The sun came within an hour of this.
It is absolutely surreal Sandy. I haven’t noticed you stopping by lately. Hope you’re doing ok. Looks like you did get out. Carol
I have been there, don’t know what is going on.
This is calming and beautiful, both.
Thanks, it was really nice standing out in the middle of the fog.
this is why I’m a winter person. the softnesses–the merges–the mauve snow. so lovely, my god.
Thanks. This is the part of winter I like best, too.
this really is dreamy beautiful!
We don’t get fog all that much, so I don’t like to miss it. There is nothing neater than the sound of crows coming out of the fog, and slowing becoming visible.
I just love misty shots – so magical. Did you pay that crow to fly by at the opportune moment? That’s really warm, Sandy! Like I say, “weird weather!” (Made a nice photo, though.)
Barb, we do usually have a couple of warm days in January, called by Mainers, the January thaw!
All I have to do is wait and second, to snap the photo. The crows are always with me in the morning.
Most of them were busy washing up.
Boy does that look cold… bird in just the right place…great capture
Actually, it was quite nice out. The crows are very obliging. I am pretty sure they have decided that the camera is someting good.
haha Sandy… I will try to remember that when I am trying to shoot them (only with the camera of course !)
It’s very dreamy!
Oh yes, fog is dreamy!
I feel like I can hear all the sounds and feel all the “feels” of this scene, the photograph is so spectacular. I just want to step right into it!
Thanks, and it was neat to be out there. I wouldn’t mind have more foggy mornings, at all.
I suppose it’s all relative. “Thaw” for you looks just like “freeze my socks off” for me!
HIgh 30′s is warm in Maine, in the winter time! I know what you mean, though.
As I looked at this photo, I wrapped my sweater tightly around me. It looks sooo cold, even though I am here and I do feel the thaw. It is almost like the moment in a blizzard that is almost a whiteout. Great shot!
Hey, fog is a gazillion times better than a white out. I take it Charlene, that you are not a morning person.
I am so much NOT a morning person. I have always wanted to be. But from the get-go, even when I was twelve years old, I was reading under the covers with a flashlight until late at night. Mornings are HARD. I start to wake up around 8pm and I could easily stay up until 3 or 4 am. That isn’t good for someone who works 60 hours a week and leaves the house before 8:00 am! Haha. My parents were early risers. I give HUGE credit to all of you who are!!!
Reblogged this on Jitterbugging for Jesus.
I just went to look. Thanks!
It’s wonderful to see this: proper Winter weather conditions. Here in England it seems we are having an extra long Autumn which is merging into an early Spring with no ‘proper’ Winter at all. It feels very odd.
I have been watching your weather. Has that ever happened before?
Just beautiful.
Thanks, do you live where there is lots of fog?
Hi Sandy
I loved the drama and mystery you captured, at least for me, in this photo.

Hey, maybe that is what I like so much about fog! Thanks.
A gorgeous dreamy image. I love it. the bird flying by is perfection.
Thanks, Karen. Fog is the original filter, isn’t it?
I love photos that are clothed in soft haze like this. So moody, in all the right ways. Beautiful silvery softness to it.
Thanks, I try not to miss a foggy day.
Such a neat shot, Sandy. It’s a story all to itself. Who know, maybe I’ll write one set to your photo.
I have been meaning to ask you about the book. How is it going?
