Because snow, rain and mud weren't interesting enough

Mother Nature: I've given New Mexico lots of snow and rain lately. 
I think I'll throw in a little frozen fog to break up the monotony.

Me: Gee, thanks...for a great photo opportunity!



Smooch had no idea what to make of the frozen fog. 


Neither did Lucy, though it didn't interfere with her appetite.


Lucy: What's going on here, mom? It's kind of hard to see.



Me: Don't fret, Lucy. You are beautiful in any weather...though it does appear you're working a little frizz today.



Hank: Everything looks different.



George: Everything sounds different.



Alan: Everything smells different.


Me: Different is good. We need to embrace different. Different makes this blog more interesting.



Hank: I prefer same and boring, thank you very much.

  3. Nothing makes you appreciate the sky like a day of fog. We have had a few of those around here and when it lifts, so do I. Could never live in a place with lots of fog, I'd go crazy!

    So I'm with Hank. Lovely photos though. :)

  7. We've had that for the last two weeks! And it's frozen to fences, trees, manes and tails. Each morning adds another layer (at least to the inanimate objects) so there was a good half inch around everything! Almost like an ice storm, but not so heavy, so no damage except to a few tree limbs that got weighed down. It was beautiful, but I was glad when the sun finally came out yesterday!

    I LOVE Alan!

  9. Two cups of coffee while I'm practically sitting on the space heater, I finally get my fingers thawed out enough to work my keyboard and then your pictures freeze my eyeballs and make me shiver again. Brrrr.

  12. Even here in Western Oregon, where this time of year is usually filled with rain that goes on for weeks, we've had the same sometimes discombobulating fog. Seems to be going around... Strange, isn't it?

  13. Fog now too! We rarely have fog here too but did once last week. It's not good for driving but is kind of neat to work outside in, makes you feel like you are in another world sort of... and it sure makes for a lovely backdrop for pictures :)
