SEASONED GREETINGS 

Winter storm is coming in.  Views from Double Peak in San Marcos to sea level in Leucadia

We found and Article in the Obituary section of the Los Angeles times that said: John Egerton died.  I did not know him or of him but he was a journalist and author of some renown.  His most famous work: "SOUTHERN FOOD" is a combination of  southern cooking recipes and social history.  I have not read it but will order and do so.  Another book "SPEAK NOW AGAINST THE DAY" is about southerners who spoke out against racial status quo before it was a national issue.

The picture above is of a contented cow in Tillamook, Oregon.  What's strange is the black marking on its head.  I was fooling around with increasing the dynamic range  of the light and dark areas and up popped an image of a cow head on a cow head.  Ok Ok you say I did that on purpose.  No I did not.

Some sunflowers to brighten a cloudy day.
