Windblown haze.
Rained all night, rained most of today, and then it cleared up suddenly, and a strong wind blew. A wind so strong, in fact, that I couldn’t hear the birds of Beech Hill. I saw few, too—only a loose flock of robins fluttering overhead, southbound.
The landscape was pretty lovely up there, though.
