And home

It started out overcast in Charlottesville but the clouds broke apart before I left.  The glimpses I had of the mountains looked foggy.

On the way back down to sea level, I saw goldenrod, Queen Anne's lace, wild sunflowers, and other white and yellow vegetation that was a blur.  Oh, and a bit of blue chickory.  The trees were still green, albeit dusty and past prime.  The verge looked red from pine needles and iron in the soil, with gone-white grass in spots.  Buzzards rode the thermals above the asphalt.

I made it back before dark and by the time I passed Williamsburg the sky was clear.  The round moon was bright when I went to bed.
