There was a fog all over the forest - slipping in amongst the trees. It always seems so magical to me, like a veil dropped over familiar sights making them less clear. Fog seems to soften everything.
This fog brought thoughts to me about this time of the year - the winter colors (or non-colors) of grey and white, of silver and black. A time when the color spectrum seems to be narrowed down to only a few shades.
The fog comes on little cat feet.
It sits looking over harbor and city
on silent haunches and then moves on. - Carl Sandberg
OMGosh...you would not believe this, but I was thinking of just that poem as I looked at the first picture. Sandburg was the first poet I recognized. I think because we were both born in the Windy City. Your pics are great, not dreary, but soothing. I like that shot of lavendar you will add to your homage.
ReplyDeleteI also love this palette of colors in nature, and I agree with Carol that they are soothing. I'm not sure you are planning on adding lavender because I'm not certain if it's there on purpose, or if it's just the wrapping for the floss. My vote is to use something exactly that color. I think it's perfect with the others!
ReplyDeleteIt is wrapping for the floss - but the other day I found a grey that has distinct lavendar overtones - yes it will be included!
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful silver and greys. Perfect for this season of ice and dim days.
