Misty Morning

Published January 12, 2009

So I was thinking about what to name this post/photo, and I thought of Misty Morning.  Then I realized that sounded familiar.  I remembered I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says this:

“a misty

morning

does not

signify

a cloudy

day”

-ancient
proverb

Well of course it doesn’t.  Why would it?  Why do I have that on my fridge?  I don’t anymore.  It’s in the trash.

Misty usually makes me think more about possibility and promise than cloudiness.

At least it did early one recent morning when I saw these oak trees while driving over from the Central Coast of CA to interstate 5.

   Oh, I like! Reminds me of Guadalajara. Winter mornings look like this: misty and warm with sunshine over the brown shades of the earth. *sigh*

   It just suddenly struck me that I don’t see “misty” in the way that proverb means. Kind of like that quote you have up in your studio that we were talking about recently (from T. Roosevelt?) — the thing about doing what you can with what you have (or something like that)? Just doesn’t suit me anymore…
