The Vineyard

As I mentioned in my other blog, I got lost in a vineyard last Monday. Well, not like physically lost where I was crying-for-my-momma lost, but mentally, emotionally lost in the beauty. It was quiet except for the rustling of the leaves in the wind. I'm not very poetic, so to describe it wouldn't do it justice.

Anyway... I got lots of photos of grapes and grape parts and vines and stuff. I thought I'd add some texture to the photos to make them seem rustic and antique-ish.

Nice grouping...

Where raisins really come from:


I pretended this grape could talk and was saying, "What, I'm not good enough for your wine? Pfft."

Can you see the bee on the top grape?
I loved the way the vines reached out and got ahold of the support wire. Look at that grip! I call this "Grape Knots".

You may notice that I placed my logo in the middle of the photos. I'm trying to discourage people from stealing my work. I haven't had any stolen yet, but I've got a couple of friends whose work has been stolen and the theif uses it as their own. Not cool.

I like the picture of the "lonely" grape. It needs to hang in there!
