What a gorgeous photo, Mary! Are you getting snow today like we are? It's so pretty. I just wish it could look like this, but be 70 degrees! Is that really asking too much?

Wow, that is absolutely wonderful.  Why don't I live in Colorado again?  It always looks so beautiful in every picture I see.

Wow Mary, Now that's a cool picture with the fog hanging down in the mountains. It looks like there are road down there, where visibility could be a big problem?  I remember our early summer mornings in the mountains of North Carolina, sometimes it was nearly impossible to see the roads because of the fog.

Hi Mary!
Believe it or not, we have something like that here in Land Park.  When the fog rolls in, it is called Tule Fog...thick as can be and floating on the ground.  Not quite the pretty mountainous scene, but very cool!

Great photo, our ceiling should always be high.

Good luck and success.

Hi Charles, I think it's an optical illusion LOL!!  Thank you for stopping in today! I appreciate it!

 

Hi Russell, I agree with you.  Even though it's pretty, I really don't like ceiling zero!!  Thank you Russell!

 

Hi Mike, Thanks for your comments, you're right, this time of year we get some really good weather shots :-)  Thanks for coming by, I appreciate it, Mike!

 

Hi Debi, We didn't get snow today, well maybe a few flakes.... You are funny, snow and 70 degrees LOL!!  now that would be strange!!  Thanks Debi, I think you are California Dreamin' HAHAHAHA!!

 

Hi Carissa, Why don't you live here, anymore?  Where did you live in Colorado before?  There are a lot of nice places to photograph, that's for sure.  Thanks Carissa, if you want to move back, I'm sure could find a nice home somewhere around here!

 

Hi Sandy, I did not venture out on this day, but the fog was very thick on the road, then it would clear, then close in again.  We don't get a lot of it, and I don't like to drive in it at all! 

When we went to North Carolina, we ran into some of that fog that you're talking about. My husband drove and I closed my eyes and prayed the whole way!  Thanks for coming by Sandy, I appreciate it!! 

 

Hi Paula, I wonder why it is call Tule fog... I'll have to look that up.  It is very erie, I think!  Thanks for the info and for your comments, Paula!

 

Hi Ann, I think the fog ceiling is too low, and the clouds need to stay high - where they belong! LOL!! Still, it was pretty on this day.  Thank you Ann, I'm glad you came by today!

Ann, I think my title was confusing - I guess you could look it at it either way :-)

Very pretty view. I'm impressed that you took the time to frame the photo before posting it. Or, is there some quick secret way that I have not yet discovered?

Hi Melissa, Really easy to put a frame on, just go to the appearance tab, once you have uploaded your pic.  This frame , or Border, is a little thin, I chose 5 -- a thicker frame would be a larger number

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps :-)  Thanks for coming by Melissa!

My fault for the confusion Ann,  :-)

 

Hi Cheryl, I like them as long as I have no where to go LOL!!  It's so beautiful to look at and watch it weave it's way through the valleys... hope you are feeling better!  Thanks for coming by, Cheryl!

Hi Mary, I'm enjoying your Wednesday photo on  Thursday.  Well actually in 1 minute it will be Friday.  Hmm, maybe I should post a Friday Foto before I go to bed.

Me again, I just actually made this photo my laptop background.  I actually think the one I replaced was one of yours.  There were boulders in the lower right corner???

This really does look more like a painting than a photo.

Hi Kristi, I sure do love taking photographs in this State!  I do take my camera with me, but there are a lot of days I just don't "see" what's around me, and probably miss a lot.  Thanks for coming by today, it's nice to see you again!
