When the sun crested the watery horizon this morning, it shot brilliant yellow light all over the place. The sky stayed mostly blue all day. The air stayed cool—cooler, even, than foggy yesterday. I worked, I cycled, I hiked with Jack. I heard or saw eleven birds, including a bunch of yellow-rumped warblers.
