Vineyard Grid
Here’s a shot of grapes ripening on the vine at the Crane Creek Vineyard near Hayesville, North Carolina. I got to visit this beautiful spot for lunch and a nice glass of wine with my sister, Becky, last summer.

Beautiful, Cathy! Love the details you’ve captured. This photo is more like a beautiful painting. 🙂

Thank you, Carrie. Yes, it could have satisfied the parameters for last weeks challenge of monochromatic. Glad I saved it for this week since I didn’t have too many files of things with grids in them! 🙂

Thanks, Mary! Yes, the wine was excellent! I come to be more open minded about U.S. wines from other places than California. Openmindedness is a good trait to have anyway!

I love the variations of green and the lines in the leaves with the faint grid pattern. What a truly lovely photo!

Thanks so much, Mary. That grid is a netting that I think they use to keep the birds from getting to the grapes. But it also satisfied the challenge. Lucky me…

Cathy, did you shoot that picture with your camera or your phone? I agree with everyone who loves those lush shades of green you captured. I’m about to share a bottle of New York State wine with Milton. I’ve lived here for 33 years, but this is the first time I’m quaffing wine from the Empire State (or consciously quaffing it). I was told this wine is very good. Fingers crossed.

I used my Olympus camera for this shot, V. I hope the wine is good. New York, I believe is one of the first states to grow grapes for wine, and some of them do have a fine reputation. We have found some great wines from New Mexico including a Blanc de Noir sparkling wine from Albuquerque – Gruet. Salute!

The wine was okay, neither horrible nor superb. Neither one of us is much of a rose quaffer, but I wanted to drink it before it got too old. I think it went better with my soft shell crabs than Milton’s steak.

I like dry roses in the summer and there are some very good French ones. Cline makes a nice one from Mourvedre grapes. But definitely a rose would be better with soft shell crabs (love those!).

Love the bold green and twisty images! It’s abstract and interesting in the way you shot it, Cathy!

Thanks, Dawn. It was definitely a busy image with no negative spaces, but the grid made it interesting.

Clink to you Frank! I guess it’s getting to be harvest time in most places in the northern hemisphere. We’ll see what 2015 brings in the way of wines…
