Eliza Waters 
So many beautiful photos! Wishing you a wonderful new year, Eliza. ☺️
Thank you, John. Stay well!
What a great way to finish off the year, with a look at some of your lovely photos. Love your little doggie! That shot of the bird of prey is wonderful. Happy New Year Eliza!
Thank you, Cathy!
Happy new year to you, Eliza, and we hope to get a chance to meet you in person in early May if you’re around!
Thank you, Debra, looking forward to better times and freedom to travel!
What a delightful retrospective! Is that your dog? So cute! I hope good things are ahead for you in 2022!
Thank you, Ellen. I chose to start off my slideshow with my dear, furry friend, Rufus, who passed away recently and is sorely missed. May he RIP, god bless him. ❤
Oh, so sorry!
❤
Such a lovely album of photographs! You are quite talented, my dear. I’ve enjoyed your illustration of the year’s journey throughout. They have made a hard one more bearable & beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🙂 xo
Eliza, this is a beautiful slide show! I truly enjoyed it. ❤
Thank you kindly, Carol!
Lovely way to recap the year. Best wishes for 2022…we all hope it is going to be the year we say goodbye to the pandemic. (Suzanne)
Amen to that. Thanks, Suzanne!
A nice overview of the year 🙂 Al the best for 2022 !!
Thank you!
So many beautiful photo’s. May your New Year be filled many more wonderful moments.
Thank you very much!
All beautiful photos. And I missed many, given my failure to keep up this year. Happy new year, Eliza. I look forward to many more pictures in 2022.
Thank you, Lisa. Retirement may yield more free time, but I expect your calendar will fill up rapidly! 😉
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Happy new year!!! 🍾🥂🍾🥂
Thank you!
Gorgeous Eliza!
Thank you, Cindy. I love the bluebird of happiness! 🙂
What a wonderful recap of the year, Eliza!
Happy 2022 to you and yours!
Thank you very much, Dale! x
Pleasure is mine 🙂 xo
That’s sad about Rufus. You have so many (all) gorgeous photos…must have been difficult to choose. I love the Cow & of course the Monarch. A safe & happy & healthy 2022 to all.
Thank you, Alice. I miss my small friend a lot, he was such a gentleman. 🙂 I limited myself to 2 photos a month, I didn’t want to overwhelm anyone! 😀
What beautiful images Eliza! Wishing you a happy, healthy, blessed New Year! ❤
Thank you, Julie! xo
Thank you for all the beautiful images. Happy New Year! Su
Thank you, Su!
The year was meh, your photos beautiful! All the best for 2022–I look forward to more of your lovely posts!
Thank you very much for the sweet compliment, Tina! May your garden year ahead be one of the best yet. 🙂
What a wonderful beautiful glorious world – even among the always present chaos. Your photographic eye sees and then shares the beauty of our moments, a kind gift to your readers. Happy, Happy New Year to you Eliza and your loved ones!
Thank you most kindly, Gary. Happy to share. Enjoy your New Year’s … will you stay up? I suppose with the time difference, you can watch the Times Sq. ball drop at 9 pm and be in bed by 10. 😉 I’m pretty sure I’ll be snoozing. 😀
I doubt I will make it until midnight unless indigestion sets in from too much clam dip! I’m not too crazy about those New Year’s Eve shows. I keep saying “Who in the hell is this person? What’s so funny about that?” But, at midnight it gets kind of scary around with the gunshots. Our neighbors have a tremendous amount of ammunition!
Good golly, I hope there are no stray bullets! That would be a bad start to a new year.
Mostly shotguns with a spraying pattern but sometimes I do wonder…
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the beauty in your world, and offering the fruits of your labors in pictures all year. Happy new year Eliza. Sending blessings for new growth, more beauty, more love and peace.
Thank you for the blessings, Carrie! ❤
That’s a great selection of photos, Eliza. I was going to ask about the pup in the first shot but I noted your response to someone else – I’m sorry you lost Rufus, who looks like a sweetie. I notice that the feline terrorist known as Bunny didn’t make the slideshow…
I hope 2022 brings us all reasons for joy and hope!
Thank you, Kris. Rufus belonged to a good friend and I loved that little guy so much. I miss his special ‘roo-roo’ greeting when I now arrive. 😦
Bunny, that little terror, was re-homed as a barn cat in Aug. ’19 and made herself a happy home there. The owner loves her and she is really good at her job keeping the rats and mice down in the barn. I got another tiger adult (Annie) soon thereafter and she is an absolute sweetheart, so things worked out for the best.
I would really love it if things smoothed out in the year ahead. I’m tired of riding these stormy seas!
Now that is one very cute pup! Thank you for sharing such lovely images from you garden and nature. Happy New Year Eliza 🎈🎉💕
Thank you, Val… wishing you all the best! ❤
Coronavirus or not, 2021 was a good year with photos like yours!
Aw, thanks much, Hien, that is kind of you. Our art gets us through, doesn’t it?
Your photos are even more splendid that I’ve realized! I’m so looking forward to enjoying even more of your art — garden and otherwise — in the coming year, and to learning from you!
Thank you kindly, Linda! looking forward to the same.
A lovely photographic review of the seasons of 2021, Eliza. Wishing you a happy 2022!
Many thanks, Audrey!
I have enjoyed this delightful overview of the year just past. I hope this new one will flow more smoothly and provide more opportunities for engagement with our loved ones. Take care.
Thank you, Anne, I appreciate your presence here and good wishes all year through.
How beautiful your garden looks, Eliza. And the pup is adorable! I always enjoy your photography and these shots are stunning. I wish you every good thing for the coming year.
Thank you very much, Lynn!
Perfect way to start the new year! Already feeling rejuvenated!
