The tree was dead, the vine was red! The warm light brought out the gold of the bark ... the only sound was the click of my camera!
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.

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

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Vines. The colors are starting to turn around here. What about for you? HMMM!
Vines growing along a fence in The Vennel, with the imposing Edinburgh Castle perched on its rock in the distance.
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.
This is an interesting story. I was directed to this pole by a Flickr pal from three states away. On my last power pole photo, he said to me that there was a pole covered in vines at the corner of Courthouse Road and White Chapel Road. The other day when I made a dump run I took a detour and went by this place. He was right and there was the pole covered in vines. Imagine my surprise.
I managed to find it on Google Earth, but I couldn’t tell it was a power pole. I think he is a warlock. Thank you Equinox27. This one is for you. www.flickr.com/photos/equinox27/
Cocculus carolinus is a climbing vine reaching 5 meters or more. It produces ovate or triangle-shaped leaves. The male and female flowers are small and green, appearing on different plants. The bright red fruit, a drupe, appears from June to August. It reaches 8 mm in size. Each fruit has a single seed that resembles a small snail shell, protected by the hard endocarp or the inner section of the ovary wall. The plant is native to North America, where it is found in Mexico and in several states in the United States from the Southeast to the Midwest. Birds eat the fruit. (Wikipedia)
You see roses quite often in the vineyards here. They aren't planted in the vineyards because they are beautiful but because they serve as an early warning system. Roses attract insects like aphids before the vines. They also get fungal diseases like black rot and mildew before the vines do. So if the winegrower notices symptoms on the rose he may still have time to protect the vines.
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
