Toodyay - place of mist

Today, while looking up something else, I came across the meaning of Toodyay. This is the town that has the Christmas shop and is only about 20 minutes from here. Toodyay means ‘mist’ and it’s very appropriate for the area as we’ve had misty mornings for the majority of time we’ve been house-sitting. Mostly, mist in the morning means a nice fine day and so it has proved to be today. It’s sunny and warm in the sun but towards evening the cold will come in. I thought I’d shown this photo before but maybe it was one of the ones which wouldn’t load. It shows two of the three horses coming in for their morning hay-net.

This place looks lovely and this is a perfect photo. We are roasting today, it is so hot and for three more days we cannot hope cooler temperatures.

@LadyDuck Things are terrible almost everywhere. We had some very heavy rainfall days followed by just 3 to 4 main rains day over the whole month. There are places in Northern Hills that have faced heavy rains, landslides, flooding and even deaths. A very hard situation to handle!!

@JudyEv Most Europe is under a terrible heat wave. They now told us that the heat will be over us until Sunday. I fear that when the thunderstorms will arrive we get hail.

I keep hearing about really high temperatures in the US and on the continent (as we commonly call Europe). I wonder if our summer will be hotter than normal too.

I would love to have that kind of morning. That's a nice picture. Happy that it's uploaded and can be seen. I couldn't upload image with my post even after few trials.

It does seem to be a bit easier now to load them.

@arunima25 I spoke too soon as this morning I can't get a photo to load no matter how hard I try.

I took the camera with me again this morning but the photo wasn't as good as this one.

As long as I don't have to drive in fog, I think it's pretty.

It's no fun driving in fog, that's for sure.

@JudyEv I don't like driving in snow, either.

@DaddyEvil I've never driven in snow but from what I've seen it's no fun.

@JudyEv I'm glad you did too. I'll be happy when they get the photo glitch fixed.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it and I'm also glad I was able to get it to 'take'.

It is very peaceful in the early mornings. All you can hear are the birds.

I love seeing the horses coming in out the mist. It's worth getting up at that time - which isn't really early anyway.

After having so many humid and testing days since last 12 to 13 days and just some rains in between, mild cold, must or even slight fog sound heavenly. But well, I am not very fond of 2 to 4 C temperatures plus heavy fog. Mild winters with low pollution are what I like. Too-d-yay : Remembering this would need some practice indeed !! I just thought if this place hosts a cricket match then the headlines would be : "Today we have a match in Too-d-yay..." Well, quite interesting!! The image looks awesome!! Have a nice Tues-day !!

My comment seems to have disappeared. Toodyay is actually pronounced 'Too - jay' which is a bit easier.

I love this shot, I don't recall seeing it before. I wish we'd get a little mist, at least mist would feed the desert plants.

It is quite a nice photo, and a very fitting name for the location. September we have scenes like this as the dew is heavier at that time of the year.

Sometimes the fog can be very thick - what we call pea-soup fog.

@JudyEv We typically get that kind of weather in September and October as the nights get cold and the days are warm. That is when we get the school bus cancellations.

@judyev Now that’s my kind of morning, Misty with the promise of sunshine and a cold night. All very West of Ireland in October. Paris in November.

It does seem a bit like Irish weather and all round is very green at the moment.

It is probably one I tried to post but couldn't. In the end I didn't know what I'd posted and what I hadn't although I did try to check.
