Fog

I love this time of year.  We get a lot of fog early and late in the day.  It's so serene and romantic in a coastal sort of way.

The soft beachy pastels so popular here seem right at home in the fog.

Several homes on the tour reflect this esthetic.



So relaxing!  One can hear the fog horns on the ferries all over town, so surreal when all is shrouded in mist.


Come enjoy some serene and relaxing homes on our annual "glimpse of island life".
