These vines in my yard are always on the move. Normally they are trying to make their way across the yard. This time, they just decided to wind themselves into a bunch. If I didn’t know better I’d think someone planted magic beans and Jack was ready to climb up this beanstalk any minute.
This one is all about the contrasting colors! Blue on green, and I like it.
A recent trip to Healdsburg made a great opportunity for some fall photography! This shot is from Ridge Vineyards. The view from their tasting room of their vines as they lost their leaves with the hills in the backgrounds had some great contrast. Early winter weather in the area had left some snow on nearby mountains, but these were low enough to not have any snow dusting.
These smudge pots in Napa are used to prevent front damage to the grapes. They burn diesel fuel when there is a chance of frost and create a smokey layer that protects the grapes from freezing. This lineup of smudge pots look like they have been around awhile, and maybe even used for BB gun target practice!
This photo taken at Karmere Vineyards near Plymouth CA looks more like a painting to me. I liked the way the mud was right next to the grass, and the dark clouds looming in the background.
