The morning started out cloudy, calm and cool. The dawn sky was already on full display, the sky was filled with thick clouds except for clearings above the Sierras and in the southern sky. The analogous colors were visible in the clearing: red, orange, yellow, seafoam green and light blue. The rabbits were grazing in the fields, Labrona was grazing on the soccer field, her juvenile rabbits were chasing each others. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the edges of the clouds near the sun were tinted with gold and nearby clouds were peach in color, the southern clearing was filled with seafoam green and light blue colors. The rabbits left the fields and grazed on the baseball field. More clouds rolled in and filled the sky.
