I love the moodiness of fog, the atmosphere of it.
I got up early and got outside to capture some of it. Maria also took a beautiful photo of Fate and the sheep out in the pasture (below.).
I’m heading over to the Mansion this morning for Meditation Class and to plan the train set village I’ll be bringing tommorrow (thanks for your support).
There is a lot of work to be done, the Mansion has never done anything like this before, and neither have I. Should be fun.
The bandage came off of my foot this morning, and Maria nade another one.
This is the second time I’ve seen the spot where my toe used to be, it’s still a shock. I’ll have to get used to it, the stitches looked good and they are coming out Thursday.
(I love this photo, it was taken by Maria out in the pasture.)
I was surprised at how many people wrote me to say keeping my Leica Q2 was the right decision. It’s surprising how often the people who read the blog are ahead of me.

The apple tree was especially beautiful in the fob, I could see it blooming. A touch of green.
I absolutely love that photo of Fate and the sheep in the morning fog. That is a CLASSIC for sure. And I also am so glad you kept your Leica Q2. You’re a great photographer – and so is Maria.
Thanks Charlotte, much appreciated..
Love these foggy, misty photos! Maria’s with the sheep looking out into the fog is very special. I was glad to hear you’re keeping the Leica Q2, too. My mirrorless Canon R10 arrived the other day, and am having fun playing with it. It’s nothing like a Leica, but works for me as I wanted a lightweight, inexpensive (fairly) camera for travel and, with an adaptor, can use my other Canon lenses. So far, so good!
Good luck with it, Dot..thanks for the good words…
I don’t know how much you (already) photograph on manual settings, but here is a suggested tip for influencing exposure… Cameras, originally, came in just black and white. And the exposure metering when on automatic ‘wanted’ to always bring values down or up to the middle gray shade. The lenses did not ‘believe’ that snow and fog could be so white, so it would meter out the contrast. However, when you have a really snowy or foggy day with lots of white, you can over-expose the shot or do a manual exposure adjustment. My Fuji has old-fashioned looking knobs and dials for that, it’s what I like most about their mirrorless cameras. They look like the cameras of old and allow me to change settings with those knobs and dials without having to enter into the electronic menus. It means my eye stays at the eyefinder while my hands change the knobs. If you play with it a little bit, you will see quickly that a small adjustment produces different results. Maybe you already know this, in which case feel free to remove this comment 🙂
I do know this Nicky, but it may be useful to others, thanks for taking the time…
