A Foggy Morning In Bedford

It's no secret that I am an early riser.  I just love the way things look in the morning light and for photography, there's nothing like the magic glow of dawn.  On a recent morning, I was delighted to find my farm covered in a shroud of misty fog.  I quickly grabbed my Canon 1D and ventured out to capture its wispy wonder.  Please enjoy these photos.

  • Ah, numbers 2, 3, and 15 are my favorites! They remind me of childhood early mornings when I would sneak out and look at the world all by myself! Such a deep-breath time. Quiet, like one is the only one awake and aware! Lovely! Being chronically ill, I am often awake at those times and can, some of the time, enjoy them as I did in yester-years!

  • wow.. so beautiful.. did you take this picture?

  • I look at the beautiful morning fog on you apple trees every day. We have your outstanding photo "Morning Mist" 06 that we won in the Good Things Event auction in NYC in our livingroom. I am also luck enough to have a beautiful view of the fog this morning over my backyard trees here in Millstone, NJ.

  • Ohh I love fogs as much as low clouds, wonderful pictures!

  • I love your style! Wonderful pictures and scenes. I love this time of year.

  • That is just stunningly beautiful and so serene! I wish I have a view like that in my yard when I rise in the morning, then I can perhaps become an early riser too, which I am not. 🙂

    I am so glad to find you here and also on twitter, I couldn't love it any more. U see, I used to watch your 10:30(MT)show and often late for my first class back in college, I just loved watching your show every morning and couldn't take my eyes away from what neat things you could do and create on the show. It was just awesome! But then now that I am back in Seoul after all schoolings, I don't even have that any more except for few short glimpse on the internet. 🙁 Wish your show is aired here regularly.. and maybe someday..

  • i love stargazer lillies....they are lovely 🙂

  • Martha, martha, Martha!!! I luv it! I want a Canon sooo bad!

  • Absolutely dreamy!

  • I just love the morning shots. Such a peacefulness before the busy day.:)

  • Great pictures but I don't like the new format. I can no longer enlarge them to see the details. 🙁

  • Martha, Thank you for sharing your pictures. It feels like fall, just looking at them.

  • martha what inspiration and vision you bring to us all ... thank you for sharing your beautiful life ...i live in lubbock where the heat is overwhelming right now and you can see for miles without seeing a tree ... so believe me when tell you your photos are breathtaking ... love the blog!

  • Your photos are pure joy. Thank you, Martha, for sharing them.

  • Hi from Australia! Lovely photos and I also love to watch your TV show down here.

  • Lovely, almost ethereal photos. I too am a morning person. My best ideas are at about 6 a.m.!

  • Hello Martha, Thank you for the beautiful pictures. It must be nice to still find some time to yourself, to appreciate the beauty and peace of the morning. I don't know if you see all of the comments left but, I wanted you to know you've given me hope for my "art-life" as a career.
    Big hugs, Pearl

  • Beautiful photo Martha.

  • Lovely, simply lovely. Early morning fog on the farm, stargazer lilies that are just exquisite. Thanks for the breathtaking pictures of your farm.

  • Love the new quicker transition on the pics. Saw your tweet about it but took me a couple days to check it out

  • I looked on your website for a recipe to cook fresh salmon and just had to stop and browse through the wonderful photo's you posted this morning! (August 30th) I have to tell you though your Oriental hybrid lily, does not look like 'Stargazer'. The stalk is generally only 3-4' for 'Stargazer' and has upward facing flowers. Your lily looks like 'Scheherazade', an 'Orienpet' hybrid that can reach up to 8' and has flowers that face downwards and curved. If it is, that particular hybrid comes from The Lily Garden here in Vancouver, WA. where they hybridize many lilies. ( I have ordered from that particular company for years)
    Also, how about a Martha Stewart calendar again? I have one with recipes from many years ago, which would be great to have one again, but if not recipes, how about some of your beautiful photo's from your property on one?
    I love all the information you are constantly helping all of us who love to cook, garden and the like.
    Thanks,

    Godbless you!

  • Martha,everything you own are beautiful. I love your Bedford property. It has magnificent things in it, it is sooo Martha.Did you start the farm, the espaliered apple trees?
    You must have an abundant harvests of all your fruits and vegetables. What do you do with the surplus?
    Martha, you are living my dream of owning an animal farm. Thank you for sharing your photographs, they are beautiful and inspiring. You inspire your audience to aspire for the best. RD

  • Martha,

    What a beautiful image to wake up to. In Wyoming we have deer standing in the mist. Only heads and legs are to be seen. Fog can be so creepy at times and then there is the beauty. Thank so much for sharing and if I had your front porch I would probably be sitting there waiting for the sun to come up so I could catch that first vision of beauty to start my day.

  • These photos Martha are absolutely spectacular . . .They remind me of a
    modern time thomas kinkaid . . ..so tranquil and beautiful .. .
    I am also an early riser and I love the scent in the air so early in the morning. Thanks again.. .Your blog every day makes my day!!

    Best regards, Nina

  • Love the apple trees. I'm starting my own garden and i'm going to try this. Thanks for all the ideas you've given us through the years.
