I took some similar shots with my smartphone yesterday. walked with some other nordic walkers through light fog and as the one or other had to take some air, I took some pics – dreamy ones, quiet ones, slow ones…. beauty!

Slowing down is a necessity and a gift. Nature brings so many opportunities to do so and we just have to embrace them. Looked like a beautiful walk, Beth!

That’s my kind of walk, but as it is dark here at 4:30 pm now, I would have to go out earlier.
Best wishes, Pete.

Lovely! And I agree about the choice for slow times. I had a wonderful and slow walk last weekend by a stream. I’m going to post a video about it later in the week :)
