Todays weather matches my mood: gray and drab. I woke to the pattering of rain on my bedroom window, causing me to snuggle deeper into my blankets. It remained cloudy with fog and a light mist off and on throughout the day. I felt confined inside so this afternoon I drove out east in the New Albany area to explore wonder of the the landscape and feel the weather. There is a mood with rain and fog that wraps around us. While in bed the mood is to wrap ourselves in a warm blanket while getting out and taking in the fog and rain can be invigorating. For me  I can see deeper into nature. Photographers will mention how much contrast is increased with rain and diffused light from clouds and fog. This mood, this feeling can be portrayed in the simplest of scenes as seen in this road leading into the trees. When we stay dry and venture out in this weather we can have some wonderful photo opportunities and encounters with nature.
