Coming out of a Fog...

Since last Wednesday I've been in a bit of a fog...we are experiencing a temperature inversion which means it is colder at lower elevations and warmer at higher elevations resulting in a lot of fog.

 Approximately 15 minutes after the above picture the next one was taken.  This has been my view for several days and sometimes even thicker.

 Thursday morning it was very soupy.  I needed to go uptown to my mom's place to drop a few things off.

 Here is the view from her 13th floor condo...mine is somewhere in all that fog along the river.

 Looking a bit farther east.

 Looking west towards Moody Park you can see frost on the roofs.  It was freezing at my place and about 40 uptown.

 Looking north towards the mountains we call the Lions.

 Descending back into the fog in Queen's Park.

 On Saturday I drove up Burnaby Mtn. to take some pictures of the city.  This is looking north and east up Indian Arm off Burrard Inlet.

 Looking towards downtown Vancouver.

 Swinging more north and west you should be able to see the Lion's Gate Bridge linking downtown Vancouver to West Vancouver.

 A longer shot of how sunny and clear it was on the mountain.

 Every so often there were these fog eruptions.

 Driving back around Brentwood and heading into another fog bank and across looking at some of the buildings along Kingsway in the MetroTown area.

 Caught this sight as I got home with the sun shining thru the end condo's windows.

 Our pump has been repaired and the waterfalls are flowing at a slower rate than usual.

 The next few pictures were taken of the sunset last night. Love the pink highlights in the clouds.

 Pale lavender and pink tones.

 Sky deepening in colour.

 Clouds starting to leave.

 Almost now clouds.  But surprising almost most of the evening I could get a good view of the condo across the river but just before I went to sleep the fog had returned very thick in a blink of an eye.

 This popped up on my Facebook page yesterday such a pretty view.

 I found that you can review your Intagram for the year and went back and checked out 2016 mainly quilt related with a view of the snowy courtyard.

 This year's review was mainly images from my Down the Rabbit Hole Quilt with a centre picture of my tulip quilt.  I've actually been adding some tulips to the DTRH quilt lately.

This is the view this morning, I'm hoping the fog is gone for awhile.  Back to prepping leaves and bias for the DTRH quilt.
                                                    

Frosty morning and a forest of trees.

January 3rd the morning started out foggy, but a short time later the sun came out and armed with my camera I set out for a walk.

The remaining roses looked like they had been painted with a frosty edge.

The sun highlighted the details of the petals of the flowers.

Walking along to the River Market the fog started to move away.

One of the Palm trees looked like it was made of glass.

An hour later I walked back towards home and took this picture.

Then I turned around and the fog was still present.

The walkway was frosty and slippery but with the sun shining made some interesting designs.

This skeleton of a leaf looked lovely with the frost.

A week later the witch hazel is starting to put forth splashes of colour.

My hoochy mama block forest of polka dot and striped tree trunks are in Santa Monica, I wonder what will come home to me?

Blogger is making it difficult to post photos, I hope this works out.

It has been very foggy for the past few days, we are having a temperature inversion...that means it it colder low down in the city trapping the fog and warmer at higher elevations with sunny skies. A friend of mine took these pictures from a tower in Metrotown in Burnaby and shared them with me. This view is looking north towards the north shore mountains.

Looking even more west of the city.

Looking north, but more to the east.

Even a bit more east.

Perhaps a bit more east and south this time.

I'm guessing this is looking south towards the Fraser River.

Looking south and towards the west again.

Down by the Fraser River where I live it has been very dark and grey all day with the fog horns from various boats sounding off periodically during the day.
