Our Location:
North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California
I woke this morning to what I thought was another dull day but in reality it was fog. Not thick at first but soon it seemed to just roll in thicker and thicker. Moisture was dripping off of everything before very long. Riley and I stuck to roads we know during our walk and went together so she wouldn't get lost or turned around. Before our walk ended we were taking off hoodies and thinking we were over dressed as the sun came out, the temperature rose and it was almost humid for about an hour. After that the desert settled down to being it's usual self. Only photos were taken during our morning walk.

| Moisture dripping from the bush. Very sweet smelling, almost a cloying scent. |

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the visit.
Until next time...
Take care, be safe,

That was a heavy fog we had this morning but I was glad it didn't last long :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too. It was very thick, we couldn’t see anything.

Weird to see fog in the desert. So much water and the temperature is just right. It was everywhere ... Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma .... I bet the plants loved it!
ReplyDeleteThey smelled wonderful on our walk. The fog was weird. I’m sure there is a conspiracy theory about all the fog. Lol

Wow all that fog and moisture on the windows reminds me of being at the beach! What a surprise! Such great pictures and a wonderful day! Hoping Doug gets the WL going today....
ReplyDeleteThe fog was strange and got very thick quickly.
DeleteHopefully the WL just needed to think on it and will start today.

I can't remember ever seeing that much fog in the desert.
ReplyDeleteIt was very strange, the temps didn't change drastically, there was really no water anywhere and so there really was nothing to explain the fog, or at least not to me. I've seen it swirl around the mountain tops but never down low on the valley floor.
