October Vineyards

6 Comments

Even though the vines are still green, the harvest is coming.

Some grapes will come off soon …

… while others will be allowed to freeze

… concentrating their flavours to make sweet or dessert wines.

But it won’t be long before the fields will be sleeping, resting for next year’s bounty.

Happy Saturday.

Am I Yellow or Am I Red?

8 Comments

During a walk today I stopped to admire the gum trees along Okanagan Lake. They are suddenly turning, but they are turning both red and yellow.

There is a bit of green still, but some leaves are turning yellow while many of the others on the same tree are turning red.
Beautiful gold and red.

I love how interesting and lovely these trees are in their variegated autumn dress, but they won’t last long and have to be appreciated now.

Happy Friday.
