Ground Fog Suddenly appeared against the hills


   We were sitting out on the back porch this evening - and suddenly it appeared as if there was smoke from a fire behind the trees against the distant hillside. But it didn't look like the smoke from any fires we had ever seen before - and it sure didn't move the same way either.

   At first you could barely see it, - yet as we watched in amazement, - the fog layer rose,  (floated really - as if it were a ghost ) to the very top of the ridgeline. We thought the hills were going to disappear in the thick fog. But then, - just as quickly as it had risen up, - it sank down to just above the tree line and remained there. It seemed as if it had become too heavy to support itself.
   Although I grabbed my camera as quickly as I could, there was no way the picture could do justice to what we actually saw out there. It was beautiful - and eerie at the same time.
