Summer in the wine country

Took these, along with the one I enter for the contest, on Thursday when I went to Napa with some friends.

1. I only now saw these, what a find, and what a place you got to shoot!

Off the top the second one is my favorite. The most wonderful light depiction and play.
But the others are spectacular as well. I like your punchy colorful entry very much and the title, too. Brought the movie back for me, Jack Lemmon.

You had a good day that day!

2. very nice pictures, Mz Pip

I sneaked into the St. Francis vineyards a couple of weeks ago to try to get a few pictures (I wouldn't have sneaked in if they'd had the good sense to stay open until sunset). Your pictures are hands-down better. I need to go out and try again.

Have you had the opportunity to shoot at harvest time? I'd love to find a winery that would let me stay out of the way and take pictures of harvest, but I'm guessing that's about like asking to interview for a job at a restaurant during the lunch rush.

3. Maybe Sterling?

That's the winery where you have to take a tram up to the winery and the view is spectacular. Maybe with a telephoto lens you can get some good shots. I took some pics from the top back in January but can't seem to find them in my gazillion folders.

Mesmerizing.
