Mason Neck in the mist
Today we’re looking at one more foggy scene from New Year’s Day, 2023. My father and I were hiking the trails of Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge and eventually we came across a small clearing in the trees that revealed this view of the wetlands. Occasionally a group of ducks would quietly fly by in the mist, almost unnoticeable.
The first photo expresses some of what I felt when seeing that scene. I was seeing the trees disappearing into the fog and the ducks flying past. It all had a quiet and peaceful feeling.
Taking a step back we can see a bit more of the scene. It may lose a little of that feeling I felt but it gives more context. We can more obviously see the impact of beavers in the area. They’ve dammed up some of the waterways and created lodges to live in.

Turning around you can see freshly chewed trees, evidence the beavers are still active.
