Did the fog come in on cat feet as Carl Sandburg has it in his poem “Fog?”  No report on that.  But we do have Carl Noechel’s photos of it from about 11 am today.

As anyone knows who has tried, photographing fog is not easy.  A photo of solid fog looks like a photographer’s error.  Not enough and you miss the effect.  Today’s balance was perfect to capture what the cat may have delivered at Clark Lake.

Fog
by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
