Staghorn.
Mostly overcast today. Cooler than yesterday. Got a lot of type-design work done, then took Jack for a hike for a change. Haha! Just kidding.
Beech Nut.
On our daily Beech Hill ascent, I heard a few birds but didn’t see any. (Elsewhere, I saw a few.) But the scenery—especially that mostly-overcast sky, as daylight diminished—gave me a few photo ops.
Just checked the weather: no snow in the forecast for ten days. What a difference a year makes.
