Today I set myself the task to see if I might shoot some pictures in landscape orientation which might be suitable as backgrounds for displaying text at my church on a projector. I was trying for a mostly blurry background with an accent in focus on the side. I could not resist shooting a number of images in portrait orientation, though, as the grasses were so perfectly bejeweled by the mist that I wanted some for the blog. Still the last image could work as a background, I believe.

After being at home for several hours, for the life of me, I could not figure out why I was so cold. I was about to make some generalization about how the drizzle was cold of a seeping sort that more readily made its way into houses, when I realized that I had been walking around in wet sneakers for several hours. A quick change into boots and woolen sweater and I was golden, warm and toasty.
