The angle of the sun does not get above 30 degrees at noon, making for very slanted light. Even the clouds look different with the sun so low. Biking along the Mikestone Road, the sun never gets above the trees.
The moors are grey, with only the winterberries offering red. Look at my favorite Norwood oak this month, compared to last. The lively white of the groundsel is gone, but even the sticks of the huckleberries show a bit of red.
Recent rains have not done much to refresh the ponds. Nantucket is back to Drought Level 2, Significant Drought, municipal water restrictions are in effect.
