Hope you're enjoying your new heating and staying snug and warm!; 7:07 am AEST
Val said...: I love that fog. And we love winter too. We just got back from the Dandenongs. The city in the distance was just visible through the light mist, and everything smelled so fresh from the rain we've had. I happily changed into my hiking boots because the track was rather muddy.; 5:40 pm AEST
Meow (aka Connie) said...: I looooove the smell of jonquils ... yummy!!
As much as I prefer the warmer weather, like in Spring, the Winter has it's own special beauty.
Take care, Meow; 5:59 pm AEST

Fog is so typical here in autumn, and I don't like it. But I like your fog pictures!! So nice that you have flowering jonquils now....this we never have in winter! Have a sunny weekend!; 6:47 am AEST

Kerri said...: Foggy mornings give a pleasant feeling of being in a cocoon, or something. They're cozy. Your pictures convey that feeling Alice.
We have a light fog here this morning. It's quite common in our summer.
How lovely to have the jonquils blooming. Do they smell wonderful? My mom's always did.
I hope you had a lovely weekend.; 9:41 pm AEST
