    OOOOH Von … the acorns are thick and fast up there … in fact, in another couple of weeks we’ll be taking your life in our hands just walking around!! Not only do the acorns come whizzzzing down from the heavens and THOK you on the head … ouch … but it’s like walking on little tiny ball bearings … and OUT from under you WILL go your feeties if you’re not careful!!!!! Soooo glad you liked the shot, tho … my darling 21 year old son just informed me that there is a problem with the saturation. He’s clearly one of those b&w people … me??? Gimme COLOR !!!
