To the great outdoors and beyond! (Massey reading)

7:00AM Sunday
Drove to Alachua in my husband's comfy, businessman sedan via US 441-N.
Traffic was light and the temperature was a pleasant 65 degrees, so I rode with my windows down. The early morning sky was pale purple and pink with lines of altocumulus clouds marching in diagonal puffy formations and a few rebel cirrus clouds making big expressive flourishes.
As the sun rose, the pastures were dewy and gleaming and the cows were back-lit like angels on religious greeting cards. Low-lying fields were covered in thick strips of fog. I kept thinking I should get out and take some photos but I didn't want to be late for my shoot. As I passed the "Alachua City Limits" sign, I looked in the rear view mirror and the road behind me was engulfed by yellow haze; I could see the silhouettes of street signs and then nothing. It looked like a sci-fi or space movie...I expected to see Ben Affleck or someone break through the fog, walking toward me in super slow-mo in his space suit.
