How did it get dark so quickly?

 

As you can see from the photo above and below, Fiona and I woke to a foggy morning that was also dark enough for the night lights still to be on - but it did make for quite mysterious welcome to the day.

By the time I walked the fog was lifting and there were birds and blossoms to be enjoyed.

I returned to home via G's orchid house to discover a couple of new beauties on show including one that has a long stem of micro orchids. The orchids almost looked luminous in the foggy light.

The day has remained misty - the plants can quietly draw in clean moisture.
