I woke up early one morning this past week and knew the season was changing when I saw the fog outside. Soon I found myself walking in the Autumn mist. Dew drops hung off dying wild flowers while sheep grazed in a nearby field.
The cooling air was silent around me as the fog embraced the land. I went through a gate into the formal garden of an estate. It felt like walking into Sleeping Beauty’s garden. All so still. A rabbit sitting quietly on a lawn. Leaves fallen around a stone table.
A landscape without a view. On my way back home I glimpsed cobwebs in hedges and then I finally saw colour appear in the mist. Red roses still thriving despite the longer and cooler nights causing the fog.
But in my garden a yellow rose was weeping petals as it silently said goodbye to summer.
Inside my children had just woken up – the silence was broken and the Autumn mist was soon gone.
Love the photos! The fog gives them an eerie and yet beautiful feel to it 🙂
Utterly beautiful photos. The imagery looks like it is out of a film. I really enjoyed looking at these. thank you for linking to PoCoLo 🙂 x
Awww everything looks pretty! A wee bit eerie but beautiful =) #pocolo
Lovely photos. I also love the autumn mists, you end up with (generally) a lovely day afterwards. I love the dewy webs on the grass.
Ah this is so lovely, and exactly like the morning that I looked out of the window and thought I should take photos only to discover I had left my camera at home! I love morning fog – and it always makes the day feel longer as by late morning there’s usually been such a drastic weather change that everywhere looks like a different place!
Thanks for sharing these and joining in – apologies it’s taken me a while to comment and share but I have been without internet. The horror!
Oh lovely! I adore autumn and you have captured exactly why. Bring on the fog!
Loving the atmospheric photos and the fabulous mix of weather we’re having at the moment. Great post as always x
Lovely images, and so lovely to capture the Autumn mist 🙂
Beautiful moody photos and poetic text. I really enjoyed this post Kriss. #PoCoLo
Beautiful photos – there’s just something about misty mornings that is quite magical. I loved your phrase about the rose weeping yellow petals as it said goodbye to summer.
What a dream! It’s so nice to sneak those special moments alone with nature. The fog makes it even more magical.
Beautiful photographs. Very English too somehow-maybe it’s the damp!
Ooh yes Iona – dampy and misty English countryside but lovely to be wandering in it once again.
