"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. . . I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." – Elliott Erwin (Documentary photographer)

Yeah, it's work, but it's less work than grass and far more interesting.

MAGIC, ELIZA I LOVE THE COLOURS, CHINA
Thank you, China.
Such beautiful colours and texture.
Thank you, Anne.
So pretty! 🌹
Thank you, Karen!
The Cornus kousa fruits look like appetizers! Dahlias are perfect and gorgeous. All those little Boo Pumpkins are from your compost?
The kousa fruit are edible, though I’ve not tried them. I love the symmetry of dahlias, a perfect example the Fibonacci sequence. And yes, those are my compost freebies!
Great colour compositions.
Thank you. 🙂
The corpus makes a perfect foil
Thank you, Derrick.
Obviously WP doesn’t accept cornus
🙂 Latin isn’t recognized at all!
You have just reminded me to buy some of the dahlia seeds that you mentioned a while ago! I want some of these lovely flowers next year!
Thank you, glad to be the reminder! I’ve been really happy with both of these.
Stunning colour and flowers. Love the symmetry of Dahlia petals and shape
Thank you, Vicki. That is what fascinates me about dahlias, they’re perfectly formed, divine order!
Lovely. 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
Simple color combinations can be so effective….nice!
Thank you, Treah! ❤
Beautiful arrangement, and I love the header shot. 🙂
Thank you, Judy!
Are there many leaf-peepers up your way this weekend?
There are suppose to be hundreds of thousands. They’ll have to go quite a ways north of us to see anything because all we have are pops of color here and there. Looking out my windows is green and more green. 🙂
Those corus seed heads remind me of dried button bush blooms. They would make wonderful ornaments! Rich, rich color. Another stunning arrangement Eliza!
Thank you, Kathy! The fruit gets mushy and rots, I’ve not thought of drying them, like in a hydrator. I think they’d make great dangly earrings. 😉 Clay art perhaps?
Or maybe spray paint them gold/silver and use for holiday decor? The possibilities are endless!
Lovely! Particularly love the cornus kousa fruit detail on glass.
Thank you, C.S., much appreciated!
The colors and texture are mesmerizing, Eliza!!! Wow!! Just beautiful!!
Thank you, Amy! x
So very pretty. Nice Sunday cheer!
Thank you, Belinda!
Simply lovely. Love your new header too.
Thank you very much, Karina!
Nice echo with the Cornus fruit! The little white pumpkins in your header are are a nice touch too. FYI, a friend of mine was looking at white pumpkins only somewhat bigger than yours at a garden center we visited recently – they were $20 each. (She did NOT buy any.)
Thank you, Kris!
OMG, shipping out there must make pumpkins really expensive! I’ll appreciate my little ones all the more. 😉
Oh so elegant! One of my favorites.
Thank you, Laurie!
So, so beautiful. I’m amazed how you always have something beautiful in your garden, all year round. I understrand that your lifelong passion, and knowledge collected throughout the years are responsible for this, and that is very special.
Thank you, Maria. Passionate obsession for sure. 🙂
Beautiful Eliza and wonderful that your garden is still blooming!
Thank you, Denise. It has been much warmer than average. Some saying there might be a frost this weekend. If so, that’ll end the dahlias and zinnias. 😦
Brilliant, Eliza.
Thank you, Cynthia!
I put cornus fruits in a vase one year and they dried beautifully…make fun tie-ons for packages. I love the way you have used them here.
Thank you, Ricki!
Between your beautiful flowers and our 80 degree weather, it almost feels like summer again. Lovely arrangement and photo!🙂
Thank you! It hasn’t been that warm here, but still doesn’t feel like October. Running about 10 degrees above average.
How gorgeous!
Thank you, Fi!
Love the contrast of the red and white. Beautiful Eliza!
Thank you, Julie!
Lovely colours and interesting little lollipop seeds!
Thank you, Carol. The fruit I’m told is edible, but I’ve not tried it.

Profound words from ELIZA WATERS:
“My first love? Nature. I couldn’t live without my daily immersion, walking in the woods, visiting our waterfall or sitting by the river watching the birds going about their business. It is where I connect to the “peace which passes all understanding.”
Thank you for reblogging! ❤
Nice perspective!
Thank you, Maria!
