this is my temporary residence for a while:

My entry was taken from the deck off the kitchen, 4 feet from the door.

Sometimes it's so foggy that I can't see 4 ft down the hill. It's like being in the Twilight Zone. But it is lovely when the fog is low. Unfortunately if you don't catch it just at the right moment it's gone very quickly.
