Another foggy morning at the farm
I received so many nice comments the last time I posted a foggy morning blog, and I thought I'd show you the latest images that I took just the other day. The reason my farm collects fog so easily is because it slopes gently down towards the nearby Cross River reservoir. I love these early morning strolls around my property before dashing off to my busy workday in New York City and it's great to capture scenes, like these. I find it quite meditative.

- Looking away from the stables, the ground was mysteriously dark, while the sky turned gorgeous pastels.
-
- Another view of the east down the boxwood allée
-
- Down at the stables, Martyn was very curious looking out into the foggy morning.
-
- Walking back to my home, called the winter house – it’s softened by the foggy mist.
-
- Through the mist, you can see the equipment barn, the greenhouse, the gym building, and the old corn crib.
-
- This is a walkway between paddocks – the mist is dissipating quickly as the sun rises.
-
- After going inside, I looked out my kitchen door into the courtyard – it was stunning in the misty morning – a wispy Phoenix roebelenii palm flanked by two century plants.
-
- This cycad looks just beautiful against the fog.
-
- A collection including a blue agave, cycad, and a Bismarckia palm
-
- A giant aloe, succulents, and cacti
-
- Three ‘hairy’ men
-
- Another type of aloe
-
- A beautifully patterned cactus
-
- Another angle

- And another

- A lovely birdbath reflection
-
- The birdbath has an elegant base.
-
- A better look at a century plant
-
- This is one of three horse mounts on my property, located near the main house. I love this massive stone.
-
- It was so very foggy.
-
- The spider webs on this boxwood were covered with mist.
-
- The apple espalier looks so great in the fog.
-
- As do my antique apple trees.
