Several out-of-the-area people have wanted to see the Sunset article (and so have some out-of-their-mind people, but that goes without saying...) Here are a couple of clips from it: the famous Quote, and Fermento in his tree. For the whole...

For as long as Art and Lei Norman had lived in their home, a tall oak on the property had one large dead limb protruding from its crown. They called it ‘the buzzard tree’ because a flock of turkey buzzards gathered on the naked limb each morning and evening. And now apparently the limb was gone.

I love the soft look of the tree against the harsh black lines of the vines. There's a mood to this image...
