A cold windy day, brilliant sunlight – great white sweeps of cloud – Sky at north a brilliant white at bottom rich cerulean + cobalt about – emerald trees up against sky - + YG below
Trees almost out in full – a pattern is formed by the slightly covered branches –
A grey afternoon
queer green of trees –
rainy night –
