Fog On Spiderwebs

 


Fog on the spider webs taken last week


Conversation in Nov. 2009 between Bob and I about Fog and fog photos I took at Emerson Park Preserve sometime in 2009.



Monday through Friday, we leave home at 5:17 AM to be at the YMCA gym at 5:30.
This morning, as I backed out of the driveway, I noticed the street lights had misty fog, only showing where the lights were. The fog was moving in.



Sandra: "Look at the mist in the lights"
Bob: "fog in the lights"
Sandra: "I just said that"
Bob: "No, you said mist, it's fog"
Sandra: "It's mist if you can see through it and it's only where the light is"
Bob: "It's fog no matter where it is"

 
And so forth and so forth, you fill in the blanks.
On the way home, at 6:30, the FOG was on the roadway and we could hardly see the trees and no sky at all, as I drove slowly through the FOG
Sandra: "now this if FOG"
Bob: "Right, this if Fog and it was fog an hour ago."
 

and so forth and so forth. Since I had no clue what to do for my daily post I decided to find a few fog pictures to go with the discussion. I started to say argument then thought quarrel.

I like your foggy and misty photos. I had to look up mist, it say it is a light fine version of fog. I would like to visit that preserve.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

Now you have me curious as to whether there is an actual difference between fog and mist, or whether it’s just semantics. I will have to check! The memory of going to the gym together must have been sweet.

I love misty, foggy days. Mist is light fog.

LOL... well, it's a matter of distance of vision: og is denser, reducing visibility to less than 1,000 meters, while mist is thinner, with visibility exceeding 1,000 meters. I have to say, the photos all show fog because you definitely couldn't see much beyond 500 m by the looks of things! As for the droplets, technically they are not fog. They are condensation as a result of fog coming into contact with an object at a different temperature to itself... oh donchya jus' luv fizziks?! YAM xx

Your fog photos are so pretty! And, I loved reading the conversation with Bob. :)

I really thinking that fog pictures show true definition of a what our eyes see. sounds strange doesn't it especially when we know that fog blocks our vision.. but..just like in even your first photo, not only do we see the web with fog dew on it, but to me the foggy background makes the trees in the far background stand out.

Great shots of the spider webs. Beautiful.

Love the conversation about fog. I laughed out loud.

Have a fabulous day and week, Sandra. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to handsome Beau. ♥

Interesting post and great photos of the fog and spider webs. We have had some spider webs recently on our patio lights.

Surfing the webs in the fog can be complicated LOL! Big hugs from all of us!

It’s a “misty, moisty morning” to me, not a “foggy, moisty morning.” I love it when it’s misty and you can still see things, but not when things are shrouded in fog.

I love the photo with the bench the best! ARRGGGH! Spider webs! where they are goes danger, in the form of actual spiders. And when the webs are empty, WHERE have the spiders GONE? They are beautiful with mist or dew on the though, but it is a deceiving beauty. Bickering!!!

photowannabe said...

Yes, I think Ginny's choice of words is perfect ... Bickering ...
You and Bob are 2 such Strong Minded people. Love your Foggy, misty photos.

I'd call it fog, unless it was more like a "spray of mist". To me, fog is more opaque than mist. Mist is more like a very fine kind of rain, only just a mist of it...either way, it was beautiful, and I'm glad you got the pictures to prove it.

Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were"
