Having grown up and spent much of my adult life in southwest Louisiana, I grew up with fog .. lots of foggy mornings where you could barely see your hand in front of your face.
When I went outwith the dogs yesterday morning, I told Vince . . it’s really foggy out there . . be extra careful. I was thinking how glad I was that I didn’t have to drive in that but then realized Speck was going to have to get to the vet soon.
This is what it looked like . .
Fog
I’m so not used to driving in thick fog and I didn’t like it at all. There’s one intersection where I have to stop, and turn left and I had to put the windows down and hope to be able to hear if there was anything coming because I couldn’t see anything.
On the way back from the vet, after 10 a.m., the sun was starting to peek through.
Fog
Before long, the fog was gone.
Fog is so beautiful . . just not when you’re having to drive in it. I used to love seeing fog settle on the bayous in southwest Louisiana . . cypress trees, Spanish moss . . and fog. I miss those scenes.

I’m in total agreement on fog: beautiful if you don’t have to drive in it. I especially like seeing low ground-fog; it gives such an ethereal feeling.
Sherrill says
Fog can be so beautiful and give areas an otherworldly look. But it is absolutely scary to drive in if it’s bad. Hope Speck’s doing OK. We didn’t have any fog up this way just cloudy and dreary until this afternoon!! The sun FINALLY!!

Dense fog is the only time I have ever wanted a red vehicle. I am usually driving a white or black and neither is visible in fog. It was the one thing I really dreaded in all the mile I drove to and from work. Today I refuse to drive anywhere unless it is an emergency if there is fog or severe weather. Just one of the perks of retirement.
