Finally fall

Fall has finally come to north Georgia. We had about an inch and three quarters of rain a few days ago, and then a couple of cloudy days, but Monday morning was clear and cool. It was foggy when I took the dogs for their walk.

There was a little wind that blew the fog through the trees.

It’s prime time for funnel web spiders.

There are so many along the road, it’s a little mind-boggling to think about how many of these spiders must inhabit this little patch of forest.

A little further down Fouche Gap Road the sun made another nice shot above the trees.

It was too bright to get a good shot of the fog, but I did catch something else about 35 or 40 feet above the road, just below the treeline.

I would never have seen it if not for the dew on the web and the angle of the sun.

We walked up to the house on the way back so I could check on a material delivery. Most of the fog was gone.

As we west down on our walk I could see that the valley was pretty much filled with fog. I had been thinking that we were up in the clouds, but we were actually just sticking up above the fog.

  1. Fall may have come to north Georgia, but the foliage colors in your recent images still don’t match the colors in your blog banner. Further north here, we’re still mostly green.

  2. It’s really kind of creepy when there’s mist in the early morning and spider webs are EVERYWHERE.

  3. Robin — I really like the fact that we get clouds/fog up here so often.

    Scott — As of today, October 21, we still have very little color here. Some maples are looking nice, but almost everything else is still green — weathered but green.

    Ridger — It is kind of creepy. We think this is our planet. How silly we are.
