Eliza Waters 
Beautiful indeed.
Thank you, Anne.
Magic happening here!

Beautiful ❤️
Thank you, Saania!

Magical!
Thank you, Fi!
Oh that detail!
Thank you, Dawn!
Yes. Cameras can capture the inner part of a plant, seeping out through leaves and flowers and it is amazing. With flowers, when I see these beads of moisture, I think, “Oh, this is what I smell.”
Thank you, Cindy. Nature’s art always captivates!
They truly are spellbinding, Eliza. Stunning camera angle!
Thank you, Anita. The morning sun lights them up so beautifully, I had to try to capture it!
And you certainly did!
Almost as on a glass of cocktail 😉
🙂 Tequila sunrise, ha!
Nicely done
Thank you, Derrick.
Fabulous photos.
Thank you, Liz!
Lovely winter companion.
Indeed, thanks, Judy!
The lighting is simply magical. Love it! 😊
Thank you, Irene!
It’s so hard to really “see” with the camera, but you did a pretty good job there!
Thank you very much! I had to crop closely, but it worked. I love that crystalline beauty.
Wow, fabulous shots, Eliza!
Thank you kindly, Donna!
Lovely colors! I love the shape of begonia leaves.
Thank you, Alice. And there is so much variety between species, such a lovely plant.
The light really does change its colors.
Backlighting reveals the beauty in leaves so well. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you, Suzanne!
Looks good enough to eat. 😉
Yes! 🙂
Texture and crunch there. Some begonias are just irresistible.
You got that right. Thanks, Allison!
I generally have a soft spot for begonias, and you have captured these leaves back-lit in the sunshine so beautifully.
Thank you, Carol. Macro opens up a whole other dimension.
Very pretty

Cool. Begonias always look so sparkly when they catch the light, good for you to be able to catch it in a photo!
