Eliza Waters 
Wow, this is a portrait in gold, isn’t it!
Yes, the inside of these pods look almost gilt. So lovely. Thank you!
❤ very pretty
This is so beautiful!! ❤
Thank you, Trini! ❤
What a delightful palette
Thank you, Derrick.
Great capture Eliza!! 🌿🌱🍀
Thank you, Karen!
Beautifully observed
Thank you, Christina.
How wonderful to have captured such beauty in the seemingly very ordinary.
Thank you very much!
Lovely :). And hopefully you’ll get some monarch butterflies feeding on that milkweed when the time is right …
Thank you, Rebecca. Yes, I hope all its seeds find fertile ground, grow and nourish many monarchs!
Seasonal grace. Beautiful.
Thank you!
Lovely, as always!
Aw, thank you kindly, Laurie!
Awesome picture! I like the composition of this one.
Thank you, Kim!
A lovely autumnal embrace. The two lovers clinging to each other as winter approaches.
🙂 It seemed like that. Thanks, Peter.
Wonderful composition and image. These milkweed pods do make great subjects!
Thank you! Don’t they? They seem to glow from within.
Like a Monday vase from nature!
Exactly! 🙂
I love this, Eliza. I love your photo and your name for it. I have been trying to find some milkweed that will grow where we are. There may be a couple of species that will grow here, but I don’t know which is best for Monarchs. Hopefully find something by spring. Thanks for a lovely image.
Thank you, Mary. High Country Gardens is in NM, I think. http://www.highcountrygardens.com/wildflower-seeds/mixtures/monarch-butterfly-perennial-wildflower-seed-collection
Nature’s artistry and your fine eye!
Thanks a bunch, Belinda!
Proof of the beauty to be found in little things, Eliza!
Yes, it’s true. It always grounds me. Thanks, Kris.
Wonderful colours and composiion, Eliza!
Thank you, Pete!
A stunning shot Eliza! This is one to enlarge and hang on the wall… Fabulous!
Thank you so much, Cathy!
Lovely shot of nature cuddling up in readiness for the upcoming cold.💛
🙂 Thank you, Val.
You’ve captured that lovely amber light again Eliza:-)
Thank you. It is a lovely time of year, isn’t it?
Give me spring any day Eliza!!!!
At least yours will be here before mine! 😉
🙂
A symphony of gold. 😀
Thank you!
Awww – how delightful!
Thank you, Fi!
Simply gorgeous, Eliza. The draping goldenrod makes it sing.
Thank you very much, Jane.
A beautiful shot, it would make a good card.
Thank you, Chloris. Good idea!
Really beautiful.
Thank you, Sylvia.
There’s nothing quite like the thick, golden November light. It illuminates the most ordinary things. And milkweed pods never lose their beauty, do they? Even when empty, the inside is exquisite.
Agreed. Thanks for your visit, Brenda. 🙂
So pretty – such grace.
Thank you, Kathy. 🙂
What a perfect garden moment.
Thank you, Linda.
So beautiful – in itself and through your photo ❤ Seeing the familiar shape of that pod, I realize that I miss our old wild milkweed; I recently planted a desert species and am hoping it does well.
Thank you so much. I hope your new plants prosper!
Gorgeous Art by Mother and perfect capture by Eliza!! Beautiful!!! ❤
Thank you so much, Amy! xo
Amazing, very nice!
Thank you, Maria!
Very beautiful Eliza 🙂

That photo is interesting, Eliza.
Thank you, Cynthia. 🙂
