Another foggy morning at the farm

I received so many nice comments the last time I posted a foggy morning blog, and I thought I'd show you the latest images that I took just the other day.  The reason my farm collects fog so easily is because it slopes gently down towards the nearby Cross River reservoir.  I love these early morning strolls around my property before dashing off to my busy workday in New York City and it's great to capture scenes, like these.  I find it quite meditative.

1 This is one of three horse mounts on my property, located near the main house. I love this massive stone.

2 It was so very foggy.

3 The spider webs on this boxwood were covered with mist.

4 The apple espalier looks so great in the fog.

5 As do my antique apple trees.

6 Down at the stables, Martyn was very curious looking out into the foggy morning.

7 Looking away from the stables, the ground was mysteriously dark, while the sky turned gorgeous pastels.

8 Another view of the east down the boxwood allée

9 Through the mist, you can see the equipment barn, the greenhouse, the gym building, and the old corn crib.

10 This is a walkway between paddocks - the mist is dissipating quickly as the sun rises.

11 Walking back to my home, called the winter house - it's softened by the foggy mist.

12 After going inside, I looked out my kitchen door into the courtyard - it was stunning in the misty morning - a wispy Phoenix roebelenii palm flanked by two century plants.

13 This cycad looks just beautiful against the fog.

14 A collection including a blue agave, cycad, and a Bismarckia palm

16 Three 'hairy' men

17 Another type of aloe

18 A beautifully patterned cactus

19 Another angle

20 And another

21 A lovely birdbath reflection
