Patterned Weather

I think the weather provides us with some of the greatest colours in the universe. With a few simple changes of weather vibrant buildings become subdued placements on the landscape.

On my walk yesterday the fog rolled in, and it does roll, in an out and if you stand in one place, one minute you can be completely surrounded and the next in the sun, and vice versa.
I walked down to Birkenhead Wharf earliesh the fog surrounded the yachts moored in the little bay, with no mighty Harbour Bridge to frame them or our biggest city in the backdrop!
I thought I would wait for the ferry to emerge out of the fog, which was now so close my clothes were getting damp. It was nearly at the wharf before I saw it, just travelling ever so slowly like a scary American movie.

I love the fog, it gives new life to everday things, as it rolls away, there is an extra twinkle on the flowers and the trees, and in autumn, with the colours changing it gives an extra dimension to our outlook! Yeah for 'changing seasons and colours'.

My friendly fisherman was not having any luck, and when I asked him if the fog was the reason he was giving up he said no "I have to take my children to school now" - some of us walk before work and some of us fish!
