The 4th of a July in a Vineyard

I worked at the winery yesterday.

 I was grateful I brought my camera when I spotted this carriage. 

A woman and her daughter - and their horse, Dolly - were giving rides to customers around the vineyard. 

Modern horseshoes?

And then it was the staff's turn for a spin around the grounds...

...right at sunset.

Sigh.

I hope you had a great 4th of July!


P.S. Speaking of horses...I was chosen as a Featured Fifty Fine Artist at Huffington Post, thanks to "I See You". 

So once again, thanks for asking me to photograph your horses, Lisa!

A Slow Day at the Winery

It doesn't happen very often, but every so often we get a slow day at the winery bistro where I work. 

Slow enough to bring out my camera and start shooting.

Fancy belongs to one of the employees and often spends her days at the winery.

Isn't she precious? 

Views from the back patio, above and below...

(No, the vines aren't dead. Just resting.)

"Life is beautiful!"

My office.

Such a beautiful place to work.

Travis, one of the sous chefs, with a gourmet wood-fired pizza fresh from the oven.

Where culinary magic happens.

Another cutie who comes to visit. 

I can't remember his name, though!

I loved the contrast of golden light against approaching storm clouds.

Hanging on.

Hope you enjoyed the visit!
