A nippy morning that started off sunny but soon turned overcast. Did not see that coming—but I’m glad it happened, because the scenery grew moody and the sky aglow. Few birds, but it didn’t really matter.
Most noteworthy, in fact, might’ve been the crows that I heard cawing in the periphery. One took off and flew out toward the bay.
