This is just the beginning of gray skies, fog, and constant overcast, and I'm already fed up. Even the photos aren't turning out as they should because there's so little light.

Fortunately, there was no rain today, so the walk was quite enjoyable. The only exception was the occasional plane making unnecessary noise and scaring away the birds.

The birds have been fed. Exactly 10 crows and a few chickadees have arrived. The latter are becoming more and more bold, taking food from my hand. The crows, on the other hand, are so skittish that it's impossible not to scare them. Even when I throw a peanut, they flee in panic.

Apparently, there's supposed to be some clearing tomorrow. We'll see if the forecast proves accurate.
