Foggy Morning Mosaics

Happy Monday to all...actually it will be Tuesday in a few hours :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm linking my post to Judith's Mosaic Monday.

Come on over and see all of the beautiful mosaics that everyone is sharing!

This past Saturday morning started out kind of cloudy,

and as it continued, a pretty dense fog settled in before I knew it.

I love taking foggy photos so I grabbed my camera and off I went.

Surely you must know I headed straight out to my road less traveled...

...and here are a few shots I snapped along the way.

Objects seem to look totally different in the fog.

Their familiar backgrounds seem to have all but disappeared.

I drive by these barns several times a week...

...and it was like seeing them for the very first time in the fog.

My road less traveled seemed to just disappear into nowhere.

And look! Well, what do you know...more spider webs!
For those of you who are tired of my spider webs, just scroll down really fast :)

This time they were really tiny and clinging to everything possible...

...billowing in the breeze like miniscule kites that had gotten stuck in miniscule trees.

OK...this is the last one.


Well, just one more, I promise....really...I mean it this time.

I'll leave you with this cute poem I found.

 THE FOG

~by Walterrean Salley

The fog is an illusion—
A master of disguise,
Which hides the tangible
Before our very eyes.

But when the fog has lifted
Everything’s still there,
And the tangible
Only seemed to’ve disappeared.

In the early morning
Or late at night,
The fog descends
Upon various sites.

It gives an air of mystery
That has long prevailed.
Dangerously intriguing
Is the fog’s foggy veil.


And today is also the first day of fall...yay!
Have a great week, everyone :)

A Trip to a Dairy Farm and Good Fences Along the Way

Can you believe it is already August??
Surely, Walmart will be getting out the Christmas decorations next week!
~
Last weekend the hubs and I set out to a dairy farm about twenty-five miles away
to get what was described to us as the best ice cream...ever.
I think I enjoyed the drive in the country that it took to get there as much as the ice cream.
I saw some really Good Fences and other interesting things to share at the *Run-A-Round Ranch*.
(squeezing this in right before the deadline :O)
~
First of all, look at these little cuties...

There was a whole row of these little guys behind the picnic area where you eat your ice cream.
I have to admit I have never seen a calf in a dog house before!

I don't know how old this little one was but it could hardly stand alone...
...looks pretty fresh, don't you think??
~
I could just kick myself for not getting a shot of our ice cream cones.
Let me just say that between balancing a nearly foot high cone...I'm not lyin'...
...the ice cream alone stood about 7" tall...
...and licking the melting part of it as it trailed down my arm,
well, needless to say, it was a little hard to pick up my camera.
Although it very delicious, we learned right away to never get two dips again.
Between the scorching heat melting it and my aching belly, the rest of it had to go in the trash :(
~
Now back to the fences...

How's this for an entry way??

There was a sign off to the side...it was the Pegasus Real Estate office....wow.
Pretty sure we wouldn't be able to touch anything they were selling.

Down the road a piece we found this "little guy".
I wish I would have gotten a shot at him straight on....his horns were about 4' or more in width.
This was really a good fence!!



This brand spankin' new fence really caught my eye...
...and quickly noticed the also new looking structure behind it....barn or house?

After zooming in, I think house...don't you?

And what would a drive in the country be without a lovely red barn...

...or a great old run down one like this?

So I'm saving the best for last...well maybe not the best...

Really folks??
~
So next time we visit the dairy farm, I will try to get a picture of the ice cream cone...only one dip.
 Or then again, maybe two...to prove to you I wasn't exaggerating :)

 Happy first weekend in August!!

Fancy Gap Fences



I really like a good fence, don't you?

This one is six feet tall and separates my yard from my neighbor's.

Actually, no one is living next door at the present time.

But it's still a nice fence...that is, if you don't want to see your neighbors...

...if they lived there.

This past weekend, we were at our cabin in Fancy Gap and let me tell you,

I was never more aware of all of the fences!

Today, I'd like to share a few of them at Theresa's Good Fences link-up.



This little waterfalls is part of the creek that runs along the gravel road.



This is the same part of the fence, as you come down the road.

The creek is on the right, through those trees.

Directly opposite the creek on the other side of the road,

 is a hill where some friendly cows always are usually grazing.

They must have thought I had something good to eat.

One by one, they all came down the hill to see me.

They gave me dirty looks when they found out that I had nothing to offer them.

So...here are a few more random shots from around the area.



I loved finding this old fence all covered with twisted vines.

...and finally, I loved the quiet sense of peace I felt when I came upon this place.



It was a beautiful weekend in Fancy Gap.

So, until next time...
