Humber Bay in the Fog: Nov. 24, 2022

Clouds can be as high as 15 kms above sea level. Fog is a kind of cloud which touches the ground. I still remember the “fog” bowl Grey Cup game of 1962. The final part of the game had to be played the next day and I went with friends to see it.

NATURE POETRY

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on. – Carl Sandburg
