The Morning Porch

The view & soundscape from my front porch first thing in the morning, in 140 characters or less (mirrored at Twitter and Identi.ca).
I live near the top of Brush Mountain, in Plummer's Hollow, Pennsylvania, and blog at Via Negativa.

August 5
6:30 a.m. and the woods are virtually devoid of birdsong. It takes me half an hour to notice the crickets in the grass, that steady ringing.
