Yesterday's doctor appointment did not go as planned. As most of you know, we live in the Blue Ridge Mountains at the foot of Afton Mountain. Normally they look like this.
But not yesterday. Fog can come quickly and thickly.
And so it was yesterday. This is what it looks like on the way to the top. Sometimes even worse.
We had to turn around and come back home. Rescheduled the appointment. Back down in town, the fog was thinner and rather pretty.
The
mountain hides, but the hush remains.

I am very sorry the weather got in the way of your appointment. It was very foggy around here too but not nearly as bad.
Your scenery is beautiful around your way, when you can see it :)
I love the fog when it's not too thick to see. I'm sorry your doctor's appointment needed to be rescheduled --- that's a real nuisance. It's such a relief to have them over with. ❤️
Beautiful photos, Ginny, including the last fog pictures.
Sorry that you had to reschedule your appointment.
Right now we are getting snow and blowing snow ❄️ in Montreal.
Apparently the Montreal bus maintenance workers are possibly going on strike again...this time the first week in March.
I have my appointment with my family doctor on March 2nd. Just great.
Hopefully I will be able to take the bus.
If not I will have to take a taxi.
It's good that the doctor's appointment could be postponed. Thick fog is very dangerous on the road... I once drove two exits too far on the motorway because I couldn't see the exits on my way home from work... you shouldn't put yourself in situations like that if you don't have to.
You took some lovely photos.
You live in a wonderful area... sending you warm greetings.
Have a happy weekend. Today it's raining into our snow...
I don't blame you for turning around. We had fog here but it wasn't bad. Those first few pictures it looks really bad. It's scary driving in it when it's that thick
Fog can be deadly to drive in, Ginny. So glad to know that you turned around and could reschedule your appointment. Loved your photos!
it's beautiful, the hidden mountains and down in the valley. glad you were safe and went back home
So sorry Ginny that you had to reschedule, but it is better to be safe. that was a lot of fog and I think I would have done the same.
Wow! I do love foggy pictures but not when you have to be driving in it. I'm sorry it messed up you appt.
Oh Ginny, that fog always seems to hit the mountains. Sorry you had to turn around and reschedule your appt. As pretty as fog is and so mysterious looking, it can be scary to drive in. But you got some really pretty pictures to look back on. The fifth picture you can barely see in front of you. And the third picture with the fog embracing the mountains is very nice. There's something about fog pictures I appreciate so much. Love the quote you shared too. It's perfect for your post.
It was pretty foggy around here too! I actually love it!
That really is heavy fog! Hope the time for the rescheduled appointment will work out better!!
Heavy fog is too scary for me. I don't blame you for turning around. Too bad you had to reschedule your appointment but these photos are beautiful in their own way. I really like your ending quote. The mountain hides, but the hush remains...

I am glad you turned around and rescheduled your appointment - it was not worth it.
Love the green and vibe in the first shot/ The mist is also very mysterious
Wow that sure is some thick fog.
Those mountains are beautiful. Too bad you didn’t get to your appointment but glad you stayed safe. We saw a little of the mountains in Gasnd Tennessee on our way home to Indiana this last weekend. Beautiful
Oh my! Pretty to take pictures of, but so dangerous to drive in. Glad you didn't chance it and were able to reschedule your appointment.
The top picture of the Blue Ridge Mountains is beautiful.
