You might be able to guess where I just travelled to.
The City by the Bay?
Or somewhere else near the California coast, about to take a morning walk near the beach? Then, enjoy a bold coffee and croissant, as I read e-mails, do a blog post or even work remotely?
No, I woke up in my own place in El Paso’s Sunset Heights. It was the fog that transported me to another place.
The effect is amazing even with recent cool and gloomy weather in El Paso.
Unusual or typical weather can offer clues where we are, or our gardens are. Whether failing to thriving, in-place to out-of-place.
Do you often see fog where you live? I bet more than some realize.
Where I live is the exposed tailbone of the Franklin Mountains, where wind or a breeze are so common. So, I’m surprised when moisture and calm come together as much as they have here. Though it was 29F when my photos were taken on 1/15/2014…probably not San Francisco!
