My Pilgrimage into 2014 goes deeper and the question has become how to visualise this path through photography? How to observe the world through a mist, keep all the options open and embrace the greyness. There’s a promise now of rebirth and spring after the long winter. Walking in the steamy wet fields, in the muck underfoot, there’s an ethereal wispiness in the air.
The conditions this morning are perfect. Early sun, warming the land. Moisture from the cold night rising in the first light. Dew drop lanterns glowing on every branch and stem.
The colours are golden. I shoot into the most easterly field. Nothing to be seen but light, shrouded in vapour. And there’s no goal here, it’s enough just to stand and feel the sun on my face, the foggy dew is a bonus…..

Ah, yes, the early Spring sun on one's face and smell of the earth. Love it. Glad to have stopped by today. JC
Spring came for a few glorious days, today we have gales again! But all in all it's a sign of change, many thanks JC
Wonderful photos, as always,
Thank you, it was a special morning……
You are great at finding beauty in the most ordinary of places, reminding me of how Kavanagh found inspiration in the stoney grey soil of Monaghan.
Well now to be compared to Kavanagh! Mairéad it's more muck than stony soil down here……but I do my best….many thanks:~)
Wonderful feeling ! A world inhabited by dew and light.
Mercie Amélie:~))

Thanks Elaine yes that morning was quite delicious, here's looking forward to many more:~)

Oh wow…you have spring!!! Love being a witness to your pilgrimage..:-)
So love those type of mornings, not something we have had here. After what seems to be a never ending dry hot summer, I am so looking forward to a walk in the the fog and mist,
Your photos always inspire me!
A perfect symbol for the beginning of a new journey…fog before the clearing and growth.
