Misty Morning Meadow Mowing

Sometimes an early rise during haying weather brings a surprise.


We had a lovely hour of mowing in the atmospheric mist.

The mist gradually burned off as the sun rose. The sun on the wet vegetation was stunning.

I take a lot of pictures of sunny, hot hay making. Below are some pictures of the delights to be found in a misty meadow.
