September has brought cooler mornings and the odd envelope of ephemeral fog.
Once the fog burns off there are shimmering misted fields beckoning to dampen your feet.

Love the first one, so amazing!
Thank you!
What the beautiful images.
(But, top-one I thought “this must be that Trifid” 🙂 )
I didn’t get close enough to find out! Thanks, Yoshizen.
Astonishingly beautiful, Karen – the droplets in the morning sun and then the butterfly – gorgeous! K
Hi Kathleen, thank you. The butterfly was a bonus.
Lovely! The last one is my favorite.
Thank you, Karen.
Beautiful, Karen! 🙂 It sure is a wonderful morning.
It was a wonderful morning, thank you Nandini.
Those fields are beautiful! I love the contrast between the fresh greens and that beautiful wintry white. Yay, more snow photos to come 🙂
I hope the snow holds off for a little while, Trish! But yes, things are changing…
Thank you.
Poetic and delicate, like many of your photos.
Thank you Ninano, for your nice comment.
I’m getting excited for your winter posts already.
Well, hopefully not too soon! Thanks, James.
So beautiful!
Thank you, Samsara.
Ooooo lovely.. I have been waiting for some early morning mist but none just yet 🙂
Oh, I do look forward to your mist images, Helen!
Like a magical fairyland. 🙂
Thank you, Matt. It was a lovely find!
Reblogged this on Iris Pinson.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Chillbrook!
You capture the light so wonderfully, that it makes me feel like every day is truly special in its own unique way. Just wonderful 🙂
Hopefully there is something special in each day, Alessandro.
Thanks very much!
oh man. where do you live? i LOVE 1, 3 and last.
sigh
Thanks so much Tin Roof!
I always look forward to your posts so I can rest my eye comfortably and sigh in relief… yes, there is another beautiful world. Thank you Karen.
Marina, you are very kind! I’m glad you think that. Thank you.
You somehow manage to find mist everywhere, but it is what you do with it that is so magical.
Thanks so much, Louis. It’s a joy to explore these places, I’m glad you share in the appreciation for them.
This is stunning… And so wonderfully peaceful. Great work, Karen!
Thanks so much for your very kind words, and the reblog! 🙂
Reblogged this on KREUZBERG´D and commented:
I have been following Karen´s blog for a while now and every single post containing her photos is a feast for the eyes. If like myself you crave a bit of peace and retreat, seems she´s found a place for all of us to go to.
Draw&Shoot – I don´t know how she draws but she sure can shoot:)
Oh no … seriously! WUNBERBAH!!!! Did you ever meet those lovely trees again that were in wraps? 🙂
Thanks, Gigi. Those trees were unwrapped in May, I need to go check in on them! 🙂
Fog, one of those mystical, magical, natural surprises-clouds come to Earth. You’ve captured it.
I love those moments! Thank you, Elena.
They are magical, these moments, aren’t they? When you wake up the butterflies… 🙂 Do I need to say that it’s a lovely series? Well, it certainly is!
Waking up the butterflies; that’s so poetic! thanks, Sorin. 🙂
Ok, I think I am jealous about the shimmering misted parts. I DO notice the walking grass covered in that way, but never the center of the tree place, that has the weeds and flowers. Is that showing in the image from the camera perspective or is it reaaaaaaaaaaaally like that?!?! It’ very exciting!
Elisa, It is a field of weeds and flowers, and it’s beside a treed area so that’s why there is a dark background to some of them. so I think it’s as you describe! 🙂
Thank you.
The first photo especially is delightful. Perfect for an album cover.
Got an album that needs a cover?! 🙂
Thank you.
wow
This shine like a jewel. lyrical and beautiful…great shot!
Thank you so much!
Amazing Photography man! 😀
Thanks, I appreciate that!
no problem, its great 😀
Outstanding, beautiful shots as usual – what I really like about your work is that it is of the world and quite often completely otherworldly.
Richard, I like the way you describe my work. And I always appreciate your thoughtful comments! Thank you so much.
Just love the atmosphere in these, Karen. 🙂 All beautiful.
Thank you, Inga.
Karen,
I love the first shot. I’d love a print of it! It reminds me of an ECM album cover.
Le Clown
I will put a print in a bottle and ship it down the river. Please watch for it! I’m not sure of the ETA.
Thank you!
Beautiful, like a dream..
Thanks, Cath. One of those times where nature brought things came together beautifully.
That butterfly just made that beautiful picture even better!! 🙂
Yes, the butterfly was perfect! Thank you.
Oh so totally magical!
Much thanks, Emily.
Karen, these are spectacular. A beautiful mix, and the detail of the droplets is sublime. So well done!
I think I was just in the right place at the right time! Thank you, Marina.
More wonderfully delicate photographs
I really like the eerie, but sort o ffairy tale, feeling. Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much, Sophie! I am loving the work on your blog, you are very talented!
Wow, beautiful photos!
Thank you very much, Annette.
Wow. How did I miss this post? Lovely photographs. 2 and 5 are my favorites. I do believe I’ll be dreaming of fairies tonight : )
Hey, thanks so much, Nareen: )
Very beautiful moods, Karen
Thank you, Bente.
I love the first image in particular – though these are all wonderful.
Hi Kevin, thank you!
what a surprise to scroll down and see the green leaves with the butterfly!
this series is my favourite! the details, lighting, composition – WOW! ephemeral is the perfect word to describe them – I love them all. your ability to capture the beauty of autumn in an almost monochromatic fashion is a rare talent!! it’s unique.
Hi Mona, thank you for your very kind words. I was just lucky to find this field after the fog lifted!
just beautiful !
