Winter Vines

I am pretty busy at the moment, so short on 365 time with a lot of projects on the go.

This is a photo taken last week when we were out for a birthday lunch with Ian.

The rain has stopped again now but it is still pretty chilly. I think it will be a while before the vines come back to life.

Lovely shot and light.

We seem to be having similar weather atm, but more rain on the way. Most of our vines are as neatly clipped as these, but so many are still being worked on.

We had a dry day today too but as you said, its rather cold

[Issi Bannerman]

They look nice in the sunshine. We are finally getting some nice summer weather here for the moment. Makes a change!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so wintry!

[haskar]

I like the light on the poles.

[Casablanca]

They remind me of the Ents in Lord of the Rings. They look like people!

[Rob Z]

Don't they always look a bit ghostly in winter? Some of the vines in our area have actually been badly affected by the wet conditions.....

[Wylie]

They sure look dormant. Opportunity to quality test the previous vintage!

[Joan Robillard]

Good shot

[Peter]

Lovely image Babs, It’s amazing how they go from this to producing fruit in such a short time:)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautifully lit by the winter sun !

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. Doesn't look bad for a Winter day.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great shot, like the shape of the bare vines.

[Susan Wakely]

The vines look like antlers.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot.

[Jacqueline]

They always look so naked without their leaves.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice wintery capture

[bkb in the city]

Nice shot

[carol white]

Nicely captured

[Pat Knowles]

Quite a lot of work there pruning & keeping the vines well cared for. The best place for a vineyard near a restaurant!

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Pam]

Lovely light. Great composition.

[KV]

The vines look old… nice!

[Judith Johnson]

Love to see the way they grow. We used to have a vine on our allotmemt, but it always got out of control

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the wine orchard.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They look like they're all standing there with their hands up in the air saying, "What happened?!"

[Islandgirl]

Exciting times when the grapes arrive!

[Shutterbug]

Look like beautiful vines. The vines in our area are green and full of grapes right now.

@ludwigsdiana These vines are fast asleep as it is so cold here.

@kjarn Raining again today.

@jamibann Good to hear you have some summer weather.

@koalagardens Rain again today after a couple of days of sunshine but so cold.

@busylady We had vines at our house in Melbourne and in Cyprus but as you say they can get out of control. The grapes were nice on the Melbourne vines but Cyprus ones were quite tart.

I can see wine in the future.
