Cool temperatures for the second straight morning. Dry, nearly cloudless sky. Few mosquitos (although one got me good), and lovely later-summer’s yellowish early light. Green and yellow and blue.
Good birds. Three nice chats with fellow humans. A couple nice photos.
Truly, I loved this day (as I will love tomorrow).
