Grey skies and white flowers

Four nights ago we had a huge thunderstorm here in Robertson.
The morning after, as often happens, there was a thick fog - all day, and all day the next day and all day the next day.
The novelty of these thick summer fogs really wears off after three days.
This is the second "long fog" of the season - we had one which started at noon on Christmas Day, and lasted into the fourth day.

Anyway, here is an image of the fog at 7:28 PM on the third day of this fog - yesterday afternoon.

Sassafras trees in fog.
Far distant trees are just visible at 100 metres.

Today the weather was cloudy, but not foggy as such.
However, as the sun dropped low in the sky, the previously thick clouds thinned just enough to allow the sun to peer through as an orange globe. It was not the usual bright sunset - just a faint wash of rose colouring on the southern horizon, and the yellow globe.
Yesterday afternoon, one of the Oriental Liliums outside my front door decided to open. The flower is dotted with moisture from the fog.
But it is a lovely flower, with a sweet, but somewhat heavy perfume. The Moths love it, of course, as do I.As the flower is very fresh, the stamens have not yet started to open and release their pollen (a process common to most plants, but really easily observed on Liliums with their huge stamens, and red pollen).

I will photograph the open stamens tomorrow morning.
