With the whole center of the country in a drought, it was delightful to come out this morning and see water hanging from all of our plants here in southwestern Minnesota due to the morning fog. I hope you enjoy these foggy picture as much as I did.
Tiny water drops hung from each needle on this small Norway pine.
Delicate water drops graced the spider web on our bridge railing.
Corn leaves were gathering bits of fog and congregating them into water drops big enough to funnel down the stalk to the roots.
Tiny hairs on alfalfa leaves were holding on to smaller bits of fog. Notice the large crack in the dirt. It will take lots of rain to fill them.
Tree leaves were gathering fog into drops that would cascade to the ground whenever the wind would rustle their leaves.
It was indeed an enchanted fog.

Our area of Southwestern Minnesota has turned magical after three days of fog. This morning the sun came out and added some sparkle to the trees.
The tiny spears of frost were everywhere, even on a few rocks.
The frost was perhaps most striking when it was on the green of pine boughs.
Some branches held a lot of frost, others held only a little.
Soon the wind and sunlight will remove the frost from the trees and we will go back to our monochrome winter world. For now we have a bit of magic in the trees. Hope you enjoyed this bit of winter magic.
