A few pics of the scenery that I saw while following Beth from point to point at the marathon she ran today in Bar Harbor, Maine.

What a lovely day you both had!

Fall color's not really here in Oregon yet, not here in the valley anyway.

Those are really nice, V.

You know, forgive me for this, but if you fix your exposure in a program as simple as Picasa, these same pics would look far more beautiful. Email them to me if you want to see...

They're very beautiful, Voronwë!

(What do you do to them, Mahima?)

Here are some fall pictures from last week I'll add to those posted. Enjoy fall! It's my favorite season.

I call this one Aspens with Ferns.

I took a lovely hike this afternoon. It took me forever to get properly bundled up. (It's 25F here.) But, once I got out there, it was so peaceful and nice. When I walked around the corner and saw the parking lot, it was something I'd never seen before--empty!

So I had the park to myself for quite some time. I eventually came across a few other people. I slipped and fell once, but I'm okay. It was at that point, though, that I decided to take the steep hill cut-through and take the last little bit off the trail I was on. By that time, I'd been out for about 1.5 hours, so I figured it was fine to cut it short.

I took a video, too, at one point. I was standing by a brook, listening to the snow, the water, and a woodpecker. It was amazingly beautiful.

Beautiful. But brrrrrrr!

Thank you! Yes, it was cold, but I really didn't get cold, if that makes sense.

Yes, perfect sense.

Neat! It doesn't really snow down here where we're at, so I always like looking at pictures of snowy parts.

Thanks!

I don't ever get sick of the snow, but I do get sick of the cold. (I'm usually done with the cold by February, but I still have about 2 months of it after that.)

This was the view from the end of my driveway this morning.

I'm really starting to like having a camera in my phone. It's so handy for moments like this.

I know just what you mean, Maria. I took the sunset pictures that I posted in the Parlour with my phone, since I didn't have my camera. They are more pixolated than I would like, but that gives them almost an impressionist feeling. And, of course, they are a lot better than having no pictures at all.

That's a lovely shot, Maria.

I need to figure out how to use my phone camera and how to get the photos onto my computer.

Post by **Maria** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:43 pm

That's the hard part for me, actually. I've got a smart phone, but it won't let me email pictures unless I've got my email account hooked up to the phone. But I hate getting notified by my phone every time an email comes in and I don't know how to turn that off, so what I end up doing when I want to send a picture somewhere is either upload to straight to facebook and then move it around from there or (in this case) I set up my email account, then emailed the pictures and then deleted the account. The facebook route is easier, but it automatically shrinks the pictures and I didn't want that for this one.

There's GOT to be a setting on my phone to *not* access my emails and show them on the phone, but I haven't found it yet.

My new Blackberry came with a USB cord, that I was able to use to transfer the pictures to my computer.

Post by **Maria** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:16 pm

Oh.
Duh.

I really ought to keep that cord in my purse and just move the pics that way!

I have a dumb phone, but the charging receptacle is a mini-USB port, so maybe there's a way. Or I may be able to email photos, but I don't have a data plan so I'll probably get charged a fee every time I do it.
