"I saw it throwing off its nightly clothing of mist, and here and there, by degrees, its soft ripples or its smooth reflecting surface was revealed..." why is this quote an example of personification?

Because I belive they are mentioning the shedding of a tree or a snake's skin because you are personifying(giving human attributes) to a tree or snake by giving them the action of taking off clothing(doffing) which a tree and snake do not do :)
