Monday November 12
Expecting sunshine today, so set an
alarm to wake before sunrise.  Was out for a hike behind the quad at
6:30am, and took a few photos.  Came in, made breakfast, and sat down
to paint most of the day.  Took a break in the afternoon to update
blog from last couple days, and to head out for a few sunset photos. 
Clouds rolled in again, so wasn't expecting much, but it was still
lovely. Back to painting,
then dinner and more painting or reading.

Note: these shots are all from my phone.  Not so bad, huh?  Didn't get around to downloading images off my nice camera yet.
