To be fair, we should be able to smell mustard and onions through the paper. Both are aromatics.

Which is amazing per this quote from a CNN article:

"Another attorney for Dunn, Sabrina Shroff, pressed Lairmore on that response, showing a photo of the sandwich on the ground, still wrapped in the Subway paper."

Even more important in light of what Alt National Parks reported on, deliberate disinformation near polling sites.

A crow perches on the peak of a roof. Its head is turned to look right. The sky behind it is unbroken blue.

As a former public servant (and I wasn't embarrassed by that expression) this is one of the things I love about the books. Ana and Din are working to keep the government healthy and honest.

Against a pale green blurred background, a raven perches on a brown fence post. Its body faces the camera and its head is curved to viewer's left. The ruffling of feathers on breast and head can be seen. Very glossy.

A green-backed hummingbird hovers, drinking from a long, tubular purple flower, one of a cluster of them. Lavender colored flowers show lower left, in-focus leaves surround the bird and the blossom cluster.

At dawn, against a backdrop of dark evergreen trees, a doe stands facing the camera. The grass under her feet is pale green.

A small fishing boat, in the center of the frame, heads to the right. the water around it ripples, creating a blurry reflection of the highway bridge, and a crisper reflection of the boat itself. A wake fans out to the left.

A ruffled raven sits on a white fence post, a walnut fragment under one talon. The crow looks to the right. The eye can be seen and the beak is thick, long with a noticeable hook. Picnic tables in background.
