Striations.
Mostly clear, mostly bright, and right around freezing this morning. Overslept a little, but got right into the swing of things, work-wise. Also, later, errand-wise. And, finally, hike-wise.
Hairy Woodpecker.
An icy Beech Hill trail. Many folks navigating it. However, there were two unleashed dogs and one photographer wandering around waaay off the trail. The Land of the Free-To-Do-Whatever-I-Want, I guess—but no great harm done.
Again, lovely light today. The fields, in particular, displayed incredible colors in the afternoon light. Earthy, wintry colors, muted by the season.
