 ---- bitter scent of fall sharp serrated air breathes under cloudless blue sky decomposition of leaves and ripe cranberries creates an acrid perfume --- Alison |

Oh, I breathed in the chill in the air and the acrid perfume of the rotting fruit and I saw that clean, clean sky, and for a moment I was in Alaska. Beautiful photo too! Thanks for the trip, Alison. I got back safely! - Owl |
