June 2015 Desktop Calendar

Your desktop for June 2015 has finally arrived. This picture was taken back in 2012 on our trip to Ireland. Heidi and I were driving to Cork to see the Waterford museum and factory and we came across some beautiful vistas so taking some pictures became mandatory.

Fog

It lingers. That’s what it does. It waits, hiding in the crevices and valleys, snaking through the fissures and low points along the Earth. April is usually a good month for fog in the Northeast. The chilly nights keep moisture close to the ground and it vaporizes and rises when it is heated. This is how the Sun “burns off” the fog. The romantic side of the experience could be likened to the faint perfume of a beautiful woman that has already left the room, or even more abstractly the melody from a song you heard yesterday that drifts in the recesses of your mind. Both are as ephemeral as the uncapturable fog. I like to refer to it as a cloud that has lost the will to fly.
