A cooling fall afternoon suffused with silent wind and creaking cedar.

In the Adelaide Hills near Uraidla

Brilliant leaves catch the afternoon light down an alley in Old Montreal

Yellowing maple vine amongst a green forest.

Park of Southern Cultures, Adler.

While in the Edna Valley vineyard a few weeks ago, I took note of the signs at the beginning of the rows. But now I'm not sure which was which, so these may or may not be Chardonnay grapes! (I should have photographed the signs)

We stopped for lunch along this beautiful creek just to the east and several thousand feet lower than Yosemite National Park.

Have a great evening and weekend.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Best viewed large. These vines were so pretty wrapping themselves all the way up this dead tree.

Vineyard and mustard flowers, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, CA.

Lost between the vines

Clytostoma callistegioides is a genus of woody-stemmed vines from tropical America, native to Argentina and the southern part of Brazil. In late spring, the spectacular 1.5in (3.8 cm) trumpet flowers are borne terminally or along the branches.

In fact, this is a withered vine leaf. But it could also be a view from an aeroplane of an autumnal river estuary.

Apparently a pest in the garden

This was taken at the foot of the rock of Sulutre showing vineyards belonging to the wine area of Pouilly-Fuissé . I love how the vines flow along the lines of the gentle slopes of the Maconnais hills

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Vines. The colors are starting to turn around here. What about for you? HMMM!

Walk With Me Into The Sun

Laurel Pond, Fluvanna County, Virginia

Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. It's a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes.

Mer de vignes

Vines growing along a fence in The Vennel, with the imposing Edinburgh Castle perched on its rock in the distance.

Note the decoration on the outside of the bottle neck. Presumably this is a manufacturer's mark.

Snake Vine.

Hibbertia scandens

A large golden yellow flower is produced for most of the year amongst dark green glossy leaves carried on twining stems.

A very hardy popular Australian plant.

Have a good one

Here's a "tasty" image for you today of some Red Vines. No, not the candy, I'm afraid. These vines love to grow along chainlink fences, but create the most delightful subjects come autumn. It's not just the brilliant red color (though that helps), but also the great contrast of the dark fence that creates a great amount of contrast. Though the focus system of the 5D Mark IV doesn't seem radically different on paper, it is actually vastly improved in every area, and it's a treat to finally have DPAF on a full frame body. This image was featured in Flickr's Explore at position 17

A dull afternoon overlooking Blefari winery in the Adelaide Hills just before the rain commenced.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid,, Bower vine (slightly cut)

Here in Holand, we call this 'trompletbloem' (Pandorea jasminoides). Behind it the plane trees of our dike. "It is a woody climber with pinnate leaves that have three to nine egg-shaped leaflets, and white or pink trumpet-shaped flowers that are red and hairy inside." Source Wiki.

We imported this one from the Sotavento some 8 years ago and it's going strong. Ah, the changing climate...

A Bower vine flower is here.

This is number 92 of Adventures in chaos.

"Upon your shattered ruins where

This vine will flourish still, as rare

,As fresh, as fragrant as of old.

Love will not crumble.'
