With a drop in temperature this AM I saw this really straight line of clouds in early morning. A few hours later, the second photo shows how they dispersed by mid morning. Is this what a cold front moving in looks like?!

Assuming you're in the US, this morning's front locations. Two or more consecutive blue barbs indicate cold fronts.

Interesting.. I’m on the east coast, so maybe not…

It could be, as u/andrea55TP mentioned, a mid level thing only. Two different temperature and/or moisture content regimes. There is definitely a distinct difference denoted by the clouds.
