A misty morning in a woodland filled with bare branched silhouetted trees. The air is crisp and damp and carries a fresh scent of earth. There's an eerie profound silence. It is a moment where nature seems to be holding its breath, waiting for the warmth to burn away the mist and reveal the day.
Misty Morning Walk, Yesterday 😊
