Flutterby™! : Dan's Day

Charlene's been out of town this weekend, and in the process I've started to revert to my old sleep schedule; early to bed and early to rise. In this case I was up at 4:30, and since we were meeting at Bill's house at 8:00 for a hike I slapped the light on the bike and pedaled up the hill to meet the sunrise. Alas, the atmosphere was clear this morning, this was as close to colors as I got, tooling along the Terra Linda divide over towards Lucas Valley.

We don't have colors like the northeast has colors, but a few trees do show a little bit, this one was a house down from Bill's place as I was killing time waiting for the appointed hour, trying not to look like some hippy loitering in an Eichler subdivision.

Then on the way back over the ridge, the composition of this flowering bush through this tree leaped out at me. Not a great day for picture taking, especially given the hopes with which I launched out of bed, but some good early morning stretch out. Now I have to get the house back in order before heading off to hang with friends this evening, 'cause Charlene and I will probably be getting home about the same time tonight.
