Misty Sunrise Around Otter Pond
After the temperature soared into the mid-sixties yesterday, a 27 degree sunrise could mean only one thing, mist over Otter Pond. The big difference between air and water temperature always produces the same result, and I wasn’t disappointed this morning. The sky was a deep blue, and frost covered the ground. A distant Roan Horsetop Mountain was framed by three Tulip Poplars that had buds but no leaves.
My house is just over the ridge to the right in the photo above, which shows a cold Dick’s Mountain in the distance.
Circling around the pond onto Fibber Magee Drive still showed no signs of Spring.
The mist rising off the water’s surface created whirlwinds that moved very slowly across the pond.
At times the mist obscurred the opposite shore. All of this happened in almost total silence.
Climbing up the hill on the way back home, a recently graded, and twice rained on road had a record of every set of tires that had passed in the last two days.
the picutes are just beautiful. I keep expecting to see an Indian princess walking out of the mist.
What beautiful pictures!!! The mist looks both beautiful & eerie at the same time!
