And, to make me feel better, pond pics.

[valis2]

10-1-09: I woke up to see the most incredible fog, thick and ghosting over the pond. The camera did not fare well with my attempt to capture it, unfortunately.





10-11-09: However, this morning--wow. Frost, and fall foliage, and a light dusting of fog. The early touch of sun.

I want a pond. =(

[valis2.livejournal.com]

It's lovely! Except for the mosquitoes. lol.

And your comment on my other post--it seems to have vanished! Thanks for commiserating with me. *hugs*

[droxy.livejournal.com]

odd---I didnt blow it away.

But yes, people are slobs. Sadly, it is getting worse. Hugs you.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Weird, isn't it? I don't know where it went.

But yeah, it's getting worse. *nodnod* *moar hugs*

[little-tristan.livejournal.com]

That's just--breathtaking. And I never use that word. I actually did stop breathing for just a second, though, as the picture loaded. It's just amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow! I thought they were a bit murky.

You know, I am really starting to worry about my monitor. I think it's really too dark. And if I scroll down, everything lightens toward the bottom.

Hmm.

[little-tristan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think you need a new monitor.

I wouldn't have used the word murky, but then this lake photo is one my favorite pictures that I've ever taken, so obviously I like shadows. (Still waiting for the thunderheads over the pond. Fingers crossed.:) The dark and the fog is just lovely. And then the bright colored on is this big splashy surprise.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Damnit, LJ is acting weird. I can't see your lake photo--I assume it's your icon.

Okay, by breaking it out into its own thread, I see it. Very nice!

Yeah, something is going on with this thing. It's either the monitor, or the new graphics card. Must investigate.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh! And I tried taking a pic of the clouds of a thunderstorm--but it just didn't work out well. See, the pond kind of faces northeast, and the storms come from the west, so the only kind of thunderstorm pic would be a storm in the process or a leaving storm, which is hard to capture.

Then again, maybe the storm pic did work, but my monitor made it look bad. hmm. Will have to investigate...

The colors of those trees is so beautiful and vibrant! Very beautiful.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! It can't hold a candle next to your lovely pics, but I'm glad you enjoyed. ;)

[todayiamadaisy]

Wow, those are gorgeous photos!

My camera does that too: it doesn't take what I see. I choose to blame the camera rather than my inability to use the right settings. :-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. It is entirely the camera's fault. *nodnod*

Glad you like the pics!

[kakiphony.livejournal.com]

So stunning. It reminds me of everything I love about home. :sniff:

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm sorry, hon. *giant hugs* Hey, if you guys get back to town, you should so totally stay with us. That would be awesome!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Why thank you for the lovely hugs. *hugs back*

And hee about the word choice! *grins*

[jaelle-n-gilla.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'd really consider the upper one to print and frame and put on a wall. It's lovely with its shades of blue.

The lowest one is what I expected autumn to look like last time you posted. The different colours are amazing!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I wish you could have seen it--I have never seen such a gorgeous, thick fog, and it was heavenly.

It's getting prettier every day. I can't wait until the rest of the trees start to go!

[hardboiledbaby]

Oh, how lovely! Ew on the mosquitoes, but wow on the view! Love the fall colors, especially. Thanks for sharing!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, the mosquitoes are little bastards, one and all, but wow, the view! :) Glad you enjoyed.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! What a beautiful view!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I'm so lucky, seriously. I hope that it always stays like this because I'm greedy like that. Fortunately, there are only four homeowners involved with the pond, so it might...

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

Stunning! What a cool bonus of the new house:)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

eee, I love it!!! Seriously.

I think I'm going to put these into Flickr...it would be fun to scroll through the pond as the seasons change, y'know?

*hugs and lurve*

[rinsbane.livejournal.com]

Oh, these make me so nostalgic for the countryside and autumn and the joy of nature. Gorgeous.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm so glad you liked them! There are some benefits to living in the country, as it turns out. *grins*

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. So beautiful.

*whistful sigh*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked, m'friend! *hugs* I'm glad that people are enjoying these--I thought they might be silly after awhile.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

They aren't silly in the slightest! I truly enjoy them, and each one is so unique. :-)

[sor-bet.livejournal.com]

Whoa, stunning colors in that last pic. Is it fall where you are already?!?

The first two are really moody, they'd be good to look at before you have to write something quiet and spooky. :-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fall is starting to slide into Michigan. *grins*

And yeah, the other pics are spooky, aren't they?

Maybe I need a pond pic entry icon. *muses*

[marginaliana]

Lovely! Getting to leaf peeping season! :D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! I can't wait to take more pictures. Hopefully I'll get a few good ones. :)

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! :)

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

That is some super sweet pond you've got there, milady! ;p

Someday... [I hope to come see it]
XD

[valis2.livejournal.com]

ME TOO!!!!!!! *giant hugs*
