Hard to believe

that some of the vines already have green leaves, whereas most are still dormant. It has been cold and miserable for quite a while now.

Beautiful mountains

[Helen Sanderson]

[Valerie Chesney]

Ominous clouds over those wonderful mountains.

That sky is amazing. They'll be fruiting in no time.

The cloud cover speaks to cold winter weather but the amount of green makes it questionable about how cold your winters are. A fabulous photo especially with that beautiful mountain in the back

[Sylvia]

Another beautiful landscape.

[Merrelyn]

@grammyn Our winters are actually rather mild Katy. Day temps anywhere between 10 -24 degrees C. At night it can get very cold with temps around 4 degrees. We get our rain between June and August. All in all it is a rather pleasant winter :-)
