- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

I think I just found a new screen saver.

Beautiful picture, also reminds me of where I grew up. Don't get a lot of color change here at the beach.
Hope you had a great weekend getaway. How did Ms. Leta do without you? I'm sure Chuck got lots of treats.
12. sab said:
wow
13. lorna said:
Gorgeous. I love the fall.
14. sarcastic journalist said:
Darn you, parts of the country that have seasons! Darn you all to heck!
15. RandyRambunctious said:
Beyoooootiful!
Fall is so awesome....
Not that I would know - in this part of the World.
Sigh!
Hope weekend went off with a bang- or 2 or 3.....
And hope L&C are well too
16. Seattle Bon Vivant said:
Gorgeous!
17. Heatheranne said:
That's gorgeous. The leaves aren't really changing here yet. But that's a good thing because I hate autumn.
18. Susie said:
Jimmy and I must think alike. My first thought was, "I'll bet they reconvened in the woods!" Lovely photo.
19. denise said:
pretty. it reminds me of that movie, the village.
20. Kath said:
...whine....WE WANT CHUCK :-)
Hope the reconvenience was memorable:-)
21. zara said:
Great picture. Fall is my favorite season and that picture really captures it!
22. Mish said:
Holy Shit how that makes me hate Miami right now. All hot and humid while the rest of the country is undergoing a remarkable transformation of exploding colors. I dont understand how anyone could hate autumn. It is by far my fav season.
23. becs lockwood said:
beautiful!
Even England is not looking this lovely yet....but we wait in anticipation!!! Can't wait to walk through the leaves with little Fynn (not that he's walking yet..but i can push and he can view from the buggy!!!!)
24. the mighty jimbo said:
oh fine. you couldn't let me just be jealous of your mad writing skillz. you had to go ahead and be an exceptional photographer too.
i'm gonna be reduced to writing about regularity just so i can feel like there is something i can do well on the internet.
25. Gordon said:
I want more family pictures!
26. King Poop said:
who put mustard in the trees?
27. Lindsey said:
Ohhh, what a gorgeous picture!
28. Jenny said:
oooh orange, to go with the rest of the ooohs.
or oooh it's fall.
29. kim said:
hey, is that where the procedure was reconvened? absolutely beautiful! hope there was a lot of sleeping and procedure for you two this weekend ;o)
30. Angie said:
I love this photo. I just brought a jumper that colour yellow, which I am also loving.
31. Megan said:
Please tell me that you had to mess with that picture in photoshop to get it to look like that. Please. That is just beautiful.
32. tangoali said:
This makes me think of fire and destruction.
33. Lauren said:
The colour and composition are surreal. Nice work.
34. Ellewiz said:
Beautiful use of color and line. Lovely!
35. Peter Hentges said:
Fall rocks.
36. Michael said:
The lighting looks really strange - could you explain it? At first I thought it was just one of those forest wallpaper jobs.
37. Elegant Goose said:
I too don't know how anyone could do anything but love autumn. Just looking at that picture I get that feeling that they talked about in the movie American Beauty... where something is so pretty it makes your heart hurt- how can beautiful also feel so melancholy. Sighhhhhhh.... I also agree that the picture looks firey and destructive.
Enjoy the procedure, Dooce, but come back to us soon. We miss you here on the World Wide Web.
38. charity said:
Looks like one of my favorite paintings by Gustav Klimt...
39. Elegant Goose said:
Ooohhh, Dooce, you totally have to make a links list-- I want to know about other worthy blogs so I can waste even more of my time at work!
Also, fellow Dooce-devotees, do you have other blogs you can recommend? Are any as pretty as dooce.com? 'Cuz please, this baby's got to be the coolest looking personal website on the entire internet!
40. Emily said:
Pretty leaves. I guess it means fall is here. Phooey.
41. shellibells said:
Try www.iamego.com There are some pretty cool pics there.
Although they are nothing compared to looking at Leta's beautiful face!!
More Leta pics please!!?
The trees are beautiful...Did you take that picture thru the bedroom window?? LOL
42. Michelle said:
Dooce needs to sell some of her beautiful, amazing, wonderful photos....please say yes..
43. A N N A said:
absolutely amazing. you're becoming my fave photog.
wow. and people wonder why i prefer places "with seasons". ;)
44. Kimberley said:
Fierce like a tiger ...
To Elegant Goose: There are so many wicked blogs out there!!
www.blurbomat.com (dooce's counterpart)
www.queserasera.org
www.byrneunit.com (2 in one)
But Dooce is my favoritest!!
45. Michael said:
Thats my favorite shade of yellow. Used it in a painting once. It was boss.
Makes me pine for home (fie upon you Worcester)
46. logcabinit said:
I thought those colours only existed in the north. Glad to see they're available in another part of the continent.
47. Lorie said:
*sigh* fall doesn't come to Texas until November. I'm jealous! Lovely picture. Hope you had a good time
48. DeAnn said:
That picture is gorgeous (and totally would get a person in the mood for reconvening the procedure, I think!)
Elegant Goose, this is DEFINITELY the coolest looking personal site on the Internet. But I also love:
http://www.hashai.com/blog
http://www.pamie.com
http://www.imthezoot.com
http://chezmiscarriage.blogs.com
And, well, the others that are in my sidebar links. I don't want to clutter the comments with them all, but many of them are gold.
49. Vanessa said:
Breathtaking! Those are birches right? I'm with charity, it reminds me of the Gustav Klimt painting I have in my living room. :)
50. DeAnn said:
That is a lovely picture (and it looks like a great place to reconvene the procedure).
Elegant Goose, I love:

52. DeAnn said:
My comment didn't show up, so I thought it was too long and tried again. Now I am smacking myself in the face because I double posted!!
53. Erin said:
WOW. That is *beautiful*. I wish I could blow it up and hang it on my wall.
54. maxigumee said:
That is SO hot! :P
55. Manda said:
It looks like the woods are aflame!
56. cpr said:
What is this leaves changing color of which you speak? What trickery have you done to those trees with PhotoShop?
-cpr from California
57. Angellivia said:
Gorgeous picture. I'm jealous. Not only do you have a beautiful daughter and husband, you have beautiful trees too!
58. jelene said:
pretty!!! fall isn't here yet in south carolina... cause all we have are palmetto trees, palms and pine trees in this neck of the woods.
i get so tickled at how many visitors are like obsessed being the first poster. (i'm the first, i'm the first person to comment. omigah!) just think if you ran into those people in person. EEEK!
59. Andrea said:
I love how it's so bright, yet the leaves are so dense you see only a couple of specks of blue sky through them. I think that's what makes the light look so unusual.
60. Melissa said:
That girl is the most precious child on this earth...i love her!! She has such an adoring, defiant look about her!!!
Maybe she won't put her feet down for fear they won't then come back up and reach her mouth!
61. steph said:
hi! this is the first time i've commented here, but i've been reading for awhile. I just wanted to tell you that you have the most adorable child ever. and everytime i read one of your monthly newsletters, i have to go back and reread all of the previous newsletters and i think to myself "wow, what an adorable baby" and "i'm so thankful that this person would share such a beautiful child with the wide recesses of the internet" so basically, i just wanted to say thanks.
62. Michelle said:
Why not just add a comments section under your posts so we don't all have to post under the photo of the day page - usually with comments having NOTHING to do with the photo (which is great by the way). I cannot tell you how touched Leta is going to be when she grows up and is old enought to appreicate the way in which you documented her growing, with humor and love.
63. Rabooka said:
I always love new pics of Leta. I especially love the after bath look.
64. coolbeans said:
Again with the monthly newletter thing. As usual, I'm a blubbering mess.
But I won't insist on going to the bathroom with you. That'd be kinda weird.
65. catie said:
oh miss heather. i love the monthly letters to leta so much!
66. Angellivia said:
Lovely photos of Leta as usual... she's adorable and I love her wet hair look!
67. Cristina said:
Thank you for all the delish pics of Leta. She is surely the cutest baby in the world. Of course, as soon as my brother and SIL have one, I reserve the right to change that statement.
Oh, how she makes me want my own baby!!
Frightening, isnt it!
68. log-cabin-it said:
smack me too.
down with double posters.
69. Very Mom said:
I'm bawling over the bathroom love!
70. shy me said:
that photo just screams TWIN PEAKS to me.
so far today, nothing else inanimate has screamed at me.
71. Erin said:
I'm just weeping at the letter today...best ever. GREAT photos, too. Sigh.
72. trisha said:
Yay! I'm first!!!!
Beautiful picture!!! Wow!
73. Jeff said:
WOW. Did you use a filter on your lens or is that just pure nature?
74. Michelle said:
I was never head-over-heels in love with living in Utah. But whenever anyone would ask how I liked it there, I would always decline to detail all of the many ways I hated it and say something like, "I tell ya, Utah is so pretty this time of year." It is always, so pretty! That was it's one redeeming quality.
I almost missed living there, just briefly, just for a second and then I remembered the herds of church-going-mormonators on their high horses and those horrid liquor laws and the all around lack of good times...
Actually there is way too much to mention here. But that picture made me miss it for a second.
75. Kimberley said:
you know, after your posts of having "Labour Poo" and how hard motherhood is, I had about given up on my thought os ever being a mom.
You just brought me back.
76. Eleni said:
My first comment on here, and I can officially say I'm in love with Leta! I've been reading dooce at work whenever I have some 'free time' (you're definitely one of the main topics of conversation in the morning, there must be 20 of us loving this site) and I can't get over how beautiful she is! Thank you for sharing your life with us! AND THE PICTURES!!! I can't get over how gorgeous they all are. Can't wait until the leaves start changing here
77. amy said:
Man oh man does that girlie look like her dad! Love the lil overall and cute T shot...
78. Lindsey said:
Awwwe, I had to repost after reading the entry. Peeing and being in love. That is so sweet :)
79. DG said:
Wow.
I laffed.
I cried.
So much l♥ve.
80. Peter Hentges said:
I always lover your monthly newsletters to Leta. I'm sure she'll treasure them when she's old enough as well, and even more when she's ready for kids of her own. This kind of familial history is a rare thing, really! I'm lucky that I have an aunt on my mother's side that is deeply into digging up the family history. (Else, I might never have known of an uncle who died tragically young. These sorts of things just Aren't Discussed in a good Minnesotan family.)

That is really peaceful picrure. Thank you for giving us some peace, Dooce!
