orange scrambled eggs?

the lovely dairy girls at the farmers market are now selling these beautiful little pasture raised chicken eggs.  

it's hard to tell in the photo but the yolks are a deep shade of orange

hooray for happy chickens!

these sublime images really must be seen at 24fps to be fully appreciated

hiroshi teshigahara. woman in the dunes. 1964
