Eliza Waters 
This is the some of beauty you can connect to, while the chaos goes on around you. 🙂
Yes, absolutely! I’m relying heavily upon it these days! ❤
Very nice, Eliza!
Thank you, Sandy!
Sure!
So lovely!
Thank you, Trini!
Great detail
Merci, Sheree!
Thank you for sharing some summer with us. Beautiful ❤
Thank you, Maria. 🙂 A little pre-freeze shot that keeps early autumn still alive. x
So delicate and pretty (even the spider). 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. I loved the color of that little aster.
Love those flowers! And the little buddy, too.
Thank you, Laurie! The color caught my eye, but then I saw the spider, a sweet surprise.
Lovely shot, Eliza. Your eyes go to those gorgeous booms initially … and then they spy the spider.
Yes, exactly as it occurred to me. Thanks, Pete!
I actually had a spider on the side of my house this morning. Most are gone for the year at this point. That looks a bit like a Nursery Web spider. There are still a few asters hanging on despite the freeze the other day.
This was taken pre-freeze, so I imagine most is gone or dormant. This next week’s warm temps might bring out a few critters, who knows?
Beautiful Flower. I like.
Thank you!
The Asters sure are a ‘stellar’ place for insects & bees & spiders.
True… thanks, Alice! 🙂
Great shot, Eliza! You’re much better than I on spider shots, I am petrified of them and won’t even get near one if I see it! If one gets on me, anyone a mile away will know it. 😲 😉
LOL, I can just imagine. Interestingly, blogging has opened me up to their beauty and interesting forms. Thanks to Reed, Mike, and Pete. 🙂
Nice shot. I love finding insects and spiders on flowers….just hanging out, doing their thing.
Thank you, many spiders (like crab spiders particularly) are big opportunists, hanging out on flowers waiting for lunch to come to them. 🙂
I actually snapped a picture of a crab spider that had just captured a bee on a daisy this summer. I would post it here, but can’t figure out how. LOL
WP must have a tutorial for that! 🙂
I looked and it sounds like the person you are commenting on has to have a plugin and enable photos to be shared in the comments. I don’t know how to do that either. LOL
I’m not too tech savvy, either… ‘plug-in?’ What’s that? 😉
Eek! That’s a BIG spider, Eliza! Great capture, and I love the focus on the asters!
Thank you, Debbie! At 1/2″, it wasn’t noticeable at first, but then I focused more closely upon it for this shot. 🙂
The garden is a good thing to focus on at the moment.
Yes, and really LONG walks, ha! 🙂
Dining al fresco. : )
Ha! Right! 😀
Beautiful image Eliza!!
Thank you, Reed!
Lovely! I needed this bit of sunshine and wonder today.
Thank you, Nailah. Glad to share. I’m afraid we’re in for a bit of a slog, aren’t we?
Yeah. Time to take a walk in the rain and then pull out my stack of kids books. How are you coping?
I’m trying not to check the EC numbers hourly! Took a long walk today with a couple friends, consulted on a garden job and blogged, which I enjoy so much, communing with folks all over. When I start to get crazy, (crazier 😉 ) there’s always solitaire which calms and orders my mind. Surviving!
Good self-care, Eliza. I love that you saw beauty and created beauty, while circling up with friends. I got sucked into CNN and NPR this morning and had to kick myself off the Internet and turn my phone off. Oh, I forgot about solitaire! Putting that on my list. It is very calming.
The words spider and spider have the same rhythm and end in the same two sounds.
True! 🙂
Woops, that was supposed to be spider and aster.
I figured as much. 🙂
I figured you figured that.
An elegant and endearing moment with nature. Fantastic photo, Eliza.
Thank you kindly, Jet!
How lovely!
Thank you, Fi!
The delicate colour of the flowers is lovely, and it is interesting how the structure of the petals kind of echoes the structure of the spider’s legs.
Thank you, Carol. Yes, I see, they do echo each other. I liked the delicate, two-toned colour of the petals particularly.
Nice to see the last colours of the non-snowy seasons. Enjoy your peaceful walks 🙂
Thank you, Adele!
Pretty scene!
Thank you, Belinda!
Thank you for this beauty, Eliza. xo
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
Love this photo, Eliza!
Thanks much!
