foggy wood

"There are some people who live in a dream world,
and there are some who face reality;
and then there are those who turn one into the other."
Douglas Everett

A very foggy day in the National Forest, was hoping to spot an owl, or other animal in the deep mist.

This photo will be in the March 2008 print edition of National Geographic.

I never remember my dreams, so I guess it's reality for me. However, I have been known to dream at work.

Superior photo, Bob. Keen perspective, and that fog is awesome. Love those golden tones.

Incredibly beautiful, the color version adds a welcoming glow to the mystery. I do love the quote. I think you are good taking pictures of dreams with your camera and turning them into reality to share. I do long to see what is around that bend.

Here are a butterfly and a flower to put on the desk of your soulmate and one of my prefered though and smile for this beautiful day and for your wonderful pic!

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke.
Now I wonder:
Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?
