Glander: What a beautiful snapshot you wrote. It brought me back to a novel by a Pacific Northwest author, David Guterson, called "East of the Mountains". Have you read any of his work? His most famous, I think, was "Snow Falling on Cedars".

Susurration. I really like that word. Almost forgot it existed.
