Dora was Drogo's sister, and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A Chance Meeting at Rivendell" and other stories leleni at hotmail dot com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dernwyn Forum Admin / Moderator Oct 3 2012, 2:31am Views: 203 Ah! Like gold fall the leaves in the wind! I dunno, I think they're a bit more "brilliantly" gold this year! What made me look twice was the waterfall picture. At first it looked like someone had scattered gold doubloons all around! Thank you, Aunt Dora! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I desired dragons with a profound desire"

alienorchid Lorien Oct 3 2012, 7:34am Views: 222 Wow.. .. just WOW! They are beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing them! Definitely on my list of places to visit sometime in my life, it looks like an absolutely magical place!

Aunt Dora Baggins Immortal Oct 3 2012, 12:35pm Views: 193 What surprised me this year was the aspen leaves in the fir trees. They looked like Christmas ornaments. And you're right, the colors seemed especially vibrant this year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket.

imin Valinor Oct 3 2012, 12:54pm Views: 185 Wow you live in such a beautiful place! Lovely golden coloured trees. Makes me want to be there kicking the leaves on the ground like when i was young, haha.

Lily Fairbairn Half-elven Oct 3 2012, 2:00pm Views: 186 Beautiful! And mountains, Gandalf, mountains! Good to see you and Uncle B, too. Thank you so much---I needed something soothing this morning.

Loresilme Valinor Oct 3 2012, 5:44pm Views: 203 Me too - I did a double take on that one I did think for a moment it was an already-decorated Christmas tree! Beautiful photos - thanks for adding a few moments of "Oooooh" to the day :-).

Ettelewen Rohan Oct 4 2012, 4:41pm Views: 183 Absolutely Gorgeous, Aunt Dora. Thanks for sharing. I traveled through the Sierra Nevada just north of Lake Tahoe (Nevada/California) last weekend, and the trees were just starting to turn in the higher elevations. So beautiful.

silneldor Half-elven Oct 5 2012, 1:38am Views: 152 I always find delight with your pictures, especially your aspen ones. My favorite one this year is the one you deemed 'stained glass'. Next year i will beg for a video of them in their 'quaking' state:).

SirDennisC Half-elven Oct 5 2012, 3:36am Views: 194 Love the fir, as if decorated for Christmas with aspen leaves thank you again Auntie!

Ethel Duath Half-elven Oct 5 2012, 9:19pm Views: 177 Oh, thank you! Almost as good as a visit. Each one of these is an absolute work of art. Amazing that Tolkien (I'm guessing) never saw aspens like this--or do they have them in England? It looks so exactly like he described, at least to me.

Aunt Dora Baggins Immortal Oct 5 2012, 9:23pm Views: 163 He traveled in Switzerland. I bet they have them there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket.

Ethel Duath Half-elven Oct 5 2012, 9:33pm Views: 151 Had to go look, and they do! Here's a link: They look "thicker" as far as the density of the number of leaves. Maybe they get more moisture over there? https://www.google.com/...biw=1324&bih=845
