Here is how our pool looked last Tuesday. (None of these pictures have been edited or retouched in any way -- this is REALLY how the scene looked!) First, looking Northeast:
And another photo, this time looking Southeast:
Now, after a few days of skilled chlorination, acidizing, scale / stain reduction, and filter media treatment, I was able to "take back" our pool from the sinister clutches mentioned above. As of this afternoon, here is how our pool looks, first Northeast view:
And the Southeast view:
So, boys and girls, don't let anyone tell you that proper pool maintenance is not important, lest you fall victim, as we almost did, to the transformation of one's sparkling blue pool into the Dagobah Swamp. Trust me -- it's a place no one wants to go. ;-)

Your house is so cool. I still cannot believe how nice it is.
Wish I lived there. It would be so nice to wake up in the mornings.
does Alfredo swim in the pool?
Greggie, maybe I am the biggest dork ever, but as I looked at your pictures for awhile, they actually started to sit with me in a metaphoric sort of way. Those waters can get murky and yucky pretty easily, and the effort to clean them is delicate and carefully executed...but worth it. You need the right tools, the right instruction book, and the patience to do it, but the sludge can be removed, and the beauty found. Thanks for the inspiration this morning. I love you.
Always,
Katie
