Push It

I was all ready to set up my scanner today and try some things with it, when i looked out the window and saw fog. My adult ADD brain got very excited and i grabbed my keys and my camera and bag and dashed out on a fog stalk.
Fog here this time of year is not common. Actually fog here usually happens when my brain is asleep...as in the morning...before 8am. My brain prefers night hours so i usually miss fog stalks. It was suppose to be 61 today and after the snow yesterday i should have known fog would be possible...it fell short of 61 by 20 degrees.....i should be a weather forecaster, since they are right even less often than i am! But i digress...
i drove up the mountain and visited a few spots that i know have some nice trees....lone trees are hard to find here. They all seem to have buddies. i love solitary trees....especially in fog. I spent about an hour and a half tooling around town to spots i know would look pretty awesome in a fog shroud. Most were on top of the mountain...the fog in the valley where i live was light and not as challenging. i like the challenge of thick fog.
On my way back down the back side of the mountain (so i could check on the Asylum and 343 in Middle Valley), i came upon the little red barn that i shot in the snow...the one i mentioned in my post of it that if it was going to snow there should be a red barn nearby ....and just as i turned to look at it, to the left and a bit deeper back, was this silo...attached to an old house made from another barn. There was this little gnome....i did a double take! i had not noticed him there before, attempting to hold up the silo!
I felt bad enough for him out there in the miserable dampness, so i figured i owed him a quick shot of his efforts. I hope he manages to hold it up for the owners....would be rather costly to have to put a whole new wall in their house!
Happy Sunday evening....may it be as warm and peaceful for you, as i plan on it being for me!
