Eliza Waters 
Very nice scene.
Thank you, Jim.
Looks like you need some rain Eliza 💦
I could see why you might think that, Karen. These grasses are growing in a wetland and are burnished by fall frosts to this lovely gold. We are fortunate to have had a great deal of rain this year. We are practically floating!
Oh wow! thats so good. 😊
Interesting contrasts
Yes, I loved the gold and evergreens. Thanks, Alice.
The true evidence of Mother Nature!
Indeed! Thank you, Cindy!
A beautiful picture because it is so perfectly composed, and the colors so complementary to one another!
Thank you very much, Hien!
Beautiful scene.
Thank you!
What, you’re not buried in snow? It’s raining today, but we totally covered in the white stuff. 🙂
I forgot to say I really like your header shot. 🙂
Thank you!
This was taken before all the white stuff, which is slowly melting, hurray!
That says it all, doesn’t it? 🙂 I love the golden color of the grasses and the contrasts with the bare trees and the evergreens. Beautiful, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. Good to have you back, missed seeing your posts. 🙂
So so relaxing and so so silent. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful! This actually reminds me of wild Florida.
I want to see that! Thanks, Kathy, happy week to you!
What a beautiful, quiet place. Your snow is gone already? Ahh, looks like November there! 🙂
Thank you, Joanna. This photo was taken before… there are still a couple of inches on the ground, slowly melting. Fun while it lasted, giving us some holiday spirit. 😉
A breath of fresh air and peace as I look at this nature vista, Eliza. Thanks so much.
Thank you, Jet. x
It’s those expressive limbs reaching up beyond the green tree line that held my eye. Not sure why, or what to make of the scene, and if you kept silent in order to better hear a message (I keep listening for one almost everywhere..)
Thank you, Albert.
Love this scene, Eliza. ❤️
Thank you, Irene. Beavers have created a stunning wetland here.
Glad the beavers didn’t get chased away.
Thankfully, this area is protected by F&W. Although certain hunting is permitted, not many trap beaver anymore.
Our colours are very similar at the moment!
Late fall colors can be so rich, yes?
Thoughtful composition, Eliza. Colors are great – burnished grasses indeed- and the flashes of scarlet (Winterberries?), and then the haunting look of mature trees with their roots drowned by the wetlands. I’m never sure how I feel when I see that.
Thank you, Peter. Wetlands always get my vote. They are so full of life, even the dead tree snags provide homesites and food for birds and insects. A peaceful place (except when the hunters come through).
Agreed that wetlands are always full of life… as well as death! Living close to nature brings many lessons.
Your scenery is beautiful in every season, Eliza.
Thank you very much, Kris!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you, Trini! 🙂
What a beautiful field–and those tiny bits of red give it a bit more flare!
Thank you, Lisa! Hope you had a nice T-day holiday and enjoy the ones ahead!
Thanks, Eliza! You too!
Your image definitely conveys nature’s serenity, Eliza. Lovely. I’m curious– what are those little bits of red?
Thank you, Jane. It is Winterberry, a lovely native that loves soggy feet. The birds eat them like they are candy. They are mostly gone by New Year’s.
Although the golden grasses catch the eye it is interesting to see the greys of the bare trees mingled with the green of trees that retain their leaves in the forest. Interesting contrasts. Am trying to imagine it all sprinkled with snow. Keep warm! (Its been 30 C plus here in our region of South Africa the past few days.)
Thanks, Carol. We are definitely at opposite ends of the climate spectrum right now. Stay cool!
🙂 Thanks!
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thank you for reblogging!
AS ALWAYS ELIZA, MEANINGFUL, CHINA china.alexandria@livingthedream.blog
Thank you, China.
I really, really like the November landscape, and your lovely photo illustrates why.
Thank you, Laurie. It feels like we got short-changed with winter conditions arriving early this year.
Yup.
Lovely!
Thank you, Donna!
Very Nice Eliza!
Thank you, Reed!
Wonderful photo, love how you captured the beautiful grass and bare trees leading to the woods!🙂
Thank you very much!
Such peaceful gold!
Thank you, Fi!
Very unusual composition, Eliza. I absolutely LOVE this! Thank you!
Thank you, Amy!
You’re welcome!
Wonderful photo Eliza, I love the ribbons of colour.
Thank you, Belinda!
Pretty light and colors!
Thank you, Denise!
I love the colors!
Thank you!
