The National Weather Service has this to say about the formation of fog: “Warm air, moist air blows in from the south and if there is snow or cool moisture on the ground it will come in contact with the warm, moist winds. This contact between the air and ground will cause the air blowing in to become cool. Then dew point rises and creates high humidity and forms fog.”
That describes our conditions the last couple of mornings to a T.
It might go without saying that in the high-desert country of Southwest Colorado, we rarely get fog. 🙂
One of the coolest – and picturesque – things about fog is when it’s starting to clear in favor of that strongest of atmospheric conditions (especially in Southwest Colorado): sunshine. 🙂
Above, I happened to catch sight of a few bachelor stallions trotting across the landscape, with a hazy spotlight of sunshine casting light particularly on the rimrocks above Spring Creek canyon. Oh, so very pretty.

FINALLY! IF this is enforced (State Police) it will stop slaughter trucks from passing thru NYS! Big big deal!

Kudos to the New York governor for recognizing the value of horses, even those “disabled” by illness or injury.
So very beautiful! Looks like a fairyland scene!
It was even more gorgeous in person! I knew I wouldn’t have time to dig out my big camera, so I used my phone. … So pretty and surreal!
That is some nice-looking fog, TJ! Very pretty with all that emerging, pale light…and of course, a mustang appearance to make the picture complete!
By that time, the fog was lifting and clearing, but it still took the sunshine a while to burn through it. … This morning, bright sunshine … EXCEPT in the lower valley – presumably, over the canyons of the Dolores River!
