Yeah, it's a thing, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Measurable moisture as a result of fog coalescing on tree needles or leaves, forming into drops, and then falling to the ground.
The Bull Run River, located here in the Mt. Hood National Forest, serves as a watershed and the main source of Portland's drinking water. It's also home to a forest of 500 year old trees and more than 250 species, including the threatened Northern Spotted Owl who's habitat depends on said old growth.
Studies have shown that within the Bull Run Watershed, fog drip from the massive Doug Firs add 35 inches of moisture a year. This adds up to a 40% increase vs. rain/snow alone, and plays a huge role in building and maintaining a diverse ecosystem. It's truly amazing how well Mother Nature designed our forests. They work in harmony with most of their inhabitants (modern humans being the exception) and even come with their own built in water catch system.
Thankfully the BRR is protected from the logging industry and others that wish to mortgage a healthy forest for a fatter wallet. As such, access is quite limited. However, this image of a forest steeped in fog down along the Umpqua River made me think about the impact that this miracle vapor can make, drop by drop.

What a day to take pictures in the rain, eh? I decided to take advantage of water drops not created by my almighty spray gun...so here's a nice odd looking berry in the rain..

Trying out more creative photography techniques. Taken with one strobe bouncing off a reflector onto the water.
In Tahlequah my favorite coffee shop has now expanded and moved to new location, on one side of the beam is the cold brew drip process, on the other side the woman pours the perfect temp water through a filter of coffee for that one glass special, The Drip, it Inspires me each time I walk in, thank you for being there for me.
Went out to the Maple Syrup farm around noon. Some spouts were frozen with temps around 30* and the ones in the sun were starting to drip.
