fog roll

Early Saturday, the fog is rolling up over Marrowstone Island, with the distant Cascades showing above the fog line.

red chairs and fog

I took this on Saturday. Yesterday we had smoke, not fog, from all the fires. When I went out to my car, there was a fine rain of ash. The smoke frightens me and I feel like a child again, in a car with the smell of my father’s cigarettes, unfiltered camels. I feel edgy all day.

I would rather have the fog.

fog and color

Another fog study from Saturday morning. Color disappears in the fog, even though those boats are not very far away….

early fog

We got up early to photograph the sunrise on Saturday. The fog is lying on the sound and rolling up over Marrowstone Island. The Cascades are visible over the fog. Port Townsend Bay is clear and the water calm.

study of parallels

For photrablogger’s Mundane Monday # 125, a study of parallels. The fog is rolling in after the sun rises, and the rowers come in.

without earbuds 9

This is the last photograph in my series. I hope she is a neighbor I run into again soon! Great blue herons are so big, they need big trees to perch in, and we have them.

peach clouds

Prayers for the flooded and for rescue and care. Sending love. And money.

For the Daily Prompt: critical. It is critical to find everyone who is still lost, flooded, ill.

without earbuds 6

I am walking in my neighborhood without earbuds (5).

My neighbor bird takes off again. I catch her with my camera, barely.

And she lands again.

without earbuds 5

…to land in a tree across the street from me. She cranes her neck to look at me. Am I a weird relative? Am I holding a bird captive? Where are my wings?

Where are my wings? I want to know too.
