Colors from just before . . .

[lavendertook]

I'm starting to feel better today, so the antibiotic ear drops are doing their job. Tomorrow everything should be covered in white--forecasters have just upped the number of inches we should expect, so it's definitely coming. It might be a good day to bake, if the power holds.

The pics below are from around the lake last October, before Hurricane Sandy yanked all our colors away. So here is a memory of bright colors to contemplate on a snow blown day:

Gorgeous. Simply breath taking!

Thank you! (-:

Lovely photos as always.

I encourage baking... things that don't take too long in the oven or don't mind cooling down in the middle of cooking and then re-heating, heh.

Thank you! (-:

Luckily, we dodged the storm and I didn't have to deal with power outages, but that is the downside to comfort baking during a blizzard, isn't it? (-:

Lovely painterly feel to these photos, Carole. *admires* And yay for eardrops working!! I hope the power stays on and you aren't hit too badly!!

[lavendertook]

Thank you! Late afternoon light is what helps.

We dodged it completely except for some wind and light precipitation. I think you pretty much dodged it too, I hope.

They look like Monet paintings.

Look at the lovely paintings for my dear that is exactly what they appear to be. We're getting nothing but rain here now, I think.

Thank you, bb! The late afternoon light really helps.

oh my gosh, as soon as I saw your name on my flist, I just remembered that I had a bizarre dream just before I woke up that Helo and Saki had met and were playing together and I was taking pictures, only Saki didn't look like Saki, she looked like a tortie cat! :D

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Heh! Since she's a tortie point siamese, maybe it was her ancestral tortie standing n for her.(-:

What gorgeous pics! The first one is my favorite. :)

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's my favorite, too. I was glad I was able to catch the Imladris light of the late afternoon.

You take the loveliest pictures!

I'm so glad you're starting to feel better.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon! I think I'll finally be able to sleep on my right side again tonight. *hugs you*

[jan-u-wine.livejournal.com]

that is simply breathtaking!

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was glad I was able to catch the Elven late afternoon light.

Those are real colors? *gapes*

The leaves weren't actually as bright as that--it's the sun shining through the leaves that gave them that color. it wasn't that good an autumn so the leaves were subdued, but on a better autumn, the leaves can be that bright themselves. (=:

These look like oil paintings, they're just incredible. You must live in Rivendell!

In the late afternoons, looking out onto the isthmus in the lake from under the trees, it often reminds me of Imladris. It's all in the light. (-:
