Foggy night at Everett Marina

 

Of Suzanis, Lilacs, and ikat Skies

This suzani is from the mid 1800's. The silk feels like ribbon to touch. The colors have muted over time, Natural dyes. It is a beautiful work of art, undiminished,  even more beautiful I'd say.

                                                           Fog is always welcome here..

                                            Lilacs and Lilac Lemonade, peonies soon to open !

A foggy morn.

The fog is so soothing, near water where it forms it keeps temperatures more even. For years I have used a humidifier in my bedroom, even living in this moist clime. I find that I feel better sleeping with moist air, it's not stuffy. Some people thought I was a nut, but as it turns out, now they have found that it actually defends physically against germs, which cling to moisture and fall to the ground quickly.( A very physical explanation).

 I don't get colds either, at least rarely. I use a humidifier air filter so it also clean the air.

I think i'm going to get a whole house one next.

 Here are a few products I have found so far.

Fog at a Horse Ranch

Horses In The Fog near Mt Baker

Mt. Baker is a volcano about 2 hours from my home.

When I went to Baker (MT) for the full moon,

I saw this pasture with rolling fog on the way home early in the morning.

It was so beautiful, early though, maybe not a very illuminated shot.

 

There are three volcanoes out that way, north, and of course

 Mt Rainier is South and East of here, along with Mt Adams and St. Helens.

These photos can be viewed much better by enlarging, and I have been selecting a nice large size for viewing.

Sky Watch Friday..pretty much the same year round here, but here goes

Snohomish sky morning

I'm a fog lover anyway..
