We had beautiful morning fog recently in my hometown of Vilnius, Lithuania. 

I love how this relatively small city has so much nature at the heart of it. I could put on my shoes, jacket, take my camera and be in the woods by the river in less than 5 minutes.

I quickly walk to the river bank and survey the surreal landscape that the fog created. The water in river Nėris is subsided and looks almost swamp-like with the reeds sticking out. 

A fallen tree blocks my makeshift path by the river. I look at how bright the grasses are and how it all fades into blueish misty nothingness. My fingers clicking the camera buttons start to feel cold pretty fast, paired with refreshingly moist air in my lungs.

Turning around, I notice a few trees overgrown with tall grass. With fog covering the forest, the dry grasses look almost like a greenish-orange flame in contrast to the blue colours of the mist. Taking my fingers off of my trusty Fujifilm X-T3 camera and putting them into my pockets for warming up, I move further along the river.

After waiting for an elderly lady to pass through, I snap my last shot of the walk. The winding path through the woods looks almost like a portal back to civilization. Before going home, I observe in child-like amazement how yellow the bushes are, and how playful the dual-branch twisted tree is in the foreground.

There were quite a lot of folks in the forest today. Lithuanians sure do love nature. Especially during quarantine when it is one of few places to retreat to outside one's home. I for one am very happy to have nature so close at hand in this most strange time.
