Mist on the field...

Mist on the field...  I took the photo at right (click to embiggen) just a few minutes ago, standing under our pine trees and looking to the southwest, over our south field.  We had a little bit of rain this morning (maybe a quarter inch), and it's 100% relative humidity.  When the rain stopped, the water that had soaked into the top inch or so of relatively warm soil started to evaporate – but in the high humidity and colder air just above the soil, it quickly condensed back out to make this “fog” swirling above the field.  We see this general thing quite often here...
