The morning started out dark and cold, in the 30’s. the sky was clear except in the distant horizon over the Sierras was very dense fog. the Northern Star was visible and the Crescent moon was barely visible in the Western Sky. The rabbits were out grazing on the field and the same rabbit was hanging out by the basketball court. The dawn sky emerged, the sky was Blue, clear area over the Sierras was Reddish brown color, layered with the fog. As the morning progressed, the color grew brighter.
