Grey . . .
Foggy. . .
Misty. . .
Perfect weather for our resident Heron~ who despite the foggy & murky conditions, manages to keep a keen eye out for any fish.
Or perfect weather to sit inside and enjoy some tea~
The winner of my Chickadee Giveaway is
Rett at The Gazebo House!
Rett~ email me your address so these Chickadees can fly home to nest with you!
Beautiful pics Mary, looks very peaceful! You have a heron, I have noticed a hawk in my back yard quite often. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a pic of him one day:@) Congrats to Rett, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled!
I AM thrilled!! Thank you SO much, Mary! I just finished sewing the binding on my little chickadee quilt. I can’t decide if I’ll use it as a table topper or a wallhanging, but either way, it will look DARLING with the chickadee tea set near by.
These grey…or is it ‘gray’…photos resemble our Ohio weather so much. I miss the sun! You’ve captured some very soothing shots that depict the calm, quiet that precedes the riotous colors of Spring. I can’t wait!
Thank you again….I’ll send you my address immediately.
Hugs,
Rett
Mary, the foggy photos are incredible! We are headed to the lake. I will be watching for fog.:-)
Pictures are so serene. My husband loves a foggy morning to walk. He delights in its peacefulness
Congrats to Rhett. I am so jealous.
Your photographs make a “grey day” look so beautiful and serene. Congrats to Rett!
Beautiful grey shades Mary. I have gone grey now and wear grey shirts all the time so I am very much a grey fan. I have always love fog too.
What beautiful photos! You’ve certaInly captured the exquisite beauty of this transitional season. Congratulations to your lucky winner. Peggy from PA
I wish I wasn’t on a cell phone, these are the kind of pics I relish large… Looks so calm and serene, I hope you are cozy and reading with all this beauty around you.
I will be back next week, I am not peeking in here again until I have posted my own c&c, but I am shooting e&e this week just to make sure I don’t space out fft again!
Thanks for hosting food for thought this week for me, keep me posted if we have any other chocoholics join in :)
Yeah rett, I know you must be thrilled~
Beautiful shots. So tranquil and serene. Congrats to Rett!! Lucky gal.
Rett will enjoy the chickadees so much!
I enjoyed your photos this morning – some of them should be made into cards, Mary. Just beautiful – haunting, really.
Oh, how perfect for Rett! She will love this set. I can see her serving tea for her friends or Miss C. Lovely, lovely, lovely! The misty shots are so peaceful and comforting. Something about this type of weather on the water. We’ve had a mix of gray days, some rainy. It’s been nice, but it has been a strange winter. Cool, but not cold.
Looking forward to CC on FFT. Hugs ~ Sarah
Mary, you make grey beautiful! Congrats to Rett. The chickadees will be nice and cozy with that quilt that she’s making. I love your stone outdoor fireplace surrounded by your Adirondack chairs.That could be our summer project this year!
Love Love the foggy photos. The chair is my favorite! Congrats to Rett!
hugs, Linda
Congratulations to Rett! Love the foggy photos. I think fog is romantic …!!! I like it .. as long as I don’t have to get out on the road. Magnificent heron!
Beautiful photos, Mary. Where I live we have 300+ days of sunshine, and I have learned to appreciate an occasional grey day. They allow us to feel blue for awhile and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Your heron is quite handsome, and because he could live anywhere, it just shows how special your lake is. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Mary. Through your keen eye and skilled photography you’ve helped us to see the beauty in gray days–thank you. Rett is going to make such a nice home for those chickadees! I’m really happy that’s where they’re going! :) ~Zuni
I love your pictures – they really tell a story – thanks for sharing….
Mary
These pictures are beautiful even with the grey weather. You are great at photography! Love your blog!
Congratualtions to Rhett on the win…how wonderful she has the perfect quilt to go with the tea set…!
Your pics, as usual, are lovely…no matter what the weather, your camera manages to capture the best of everything…but for some reason, the last photo does not show up for me :-(
It was a gr ay day here today, too. I have a new camera I’m learning to use, and hope I get as good as you as capturing the look and feel of things!
wonderful pics :)
Wonderful photos!
I love your misty pics….
Makes me long for the coast, it must be time to plan a trip to Oregon!
I love your misty photo’s and the herons
All of your pictures are just lovely…. and today this is actually what we have had all day long…it began with just a slight fog, that grew thicker, and every now and then you just have to pause in the splendor of it!
Gorgeous photography! Greys never seem to be that bad when you are surrounded by calm waters.
Beautiful pictures! Your resident heron is amazing.
Lovely photos and congrats to Rett!
As always, you’ve left us some beautiful images. So serene!
Congratulations to Rett (one of my favorite bloggers, btw) Those photos are just beautiful. I would call them simply and peacefully beautiful
Congratulations to Rett! I would never say that a gray day would appeal to me, but you can package and sell anything!!!! Those chairs against that gray sky are amazing! You always make the world beautiful even when others would see it as gloomy! Have a wonderful day.
There is such peace in these pictures cloaked in gray.
Wonderful, wonderful shots. They make me want to crawl inside them!
=)
CONGRATS to Rett!!!! They couldn’t be going to a sweeter person! I can’t wait to go see her quilt and then when she gets the dishes, with them! It is gray here too but we leave in the moring for (I hope) SUNNY Florida. XO, Pinky
What a lovely, lovely blog. I think the lake photos are beautiful. It’s nice to meet you on Alphabet Thrusday. xo Jenny
