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 –
