Second day of Autumn 2011

clouds creep in
7:48 in the morning on the second day of fall 2011. Napa, CA.

Autumn is less dramatic here than it is back home in Mystic. The air cools, but only slightly at first. The leaves change slowly, if at all. However, the sky changes, it hangs a deeper shade of blue, and the clouds come in from the ocean and stack themselves against the hills.
