Went down to the privacy fenced area this AM and there were tons of birds, all kinds, feasting on the various natural food that are planted. Ran back up to grab the camera, when I got back down the only one left was this female sq.<br />
<br />
 Just a bit late on this.

This is just about Don's favorite person. David is a long time propagator of unusual and dwarf conifers, all around great guy as well. He always has new, or potentially new, unnamed conifers that won't be in circulation for years if ever.<br />
<br />
So on one of the nastiest days of the year Don decides he needs a conifer fix and off we go. That little pile of stuff David is standing over is Don's haul for the day, a light one I might add:-) I also had to get a couple goodies, so in that mess is a Ginkgo called Munchkin, only gets about 2' tall and a J Maple not often found in cultivation.  Just to give you and idea Don can spend darn near what a  chunk of good Canon glass costs and fit it all in the Jeep w/o even putting the back seats down:-)

This is just nuts and one of those I had to shots.<br />
These sneeks have been hanging on that wire for 3 years. AEP had poles and wires  in the area replaced, shoes would go right? Wrong.

    I'm with Kurt, what a bunch of sour grapers...this is beautiful! Look at the creases and wrinkles in the grapes, the dew, the wonderful designs of the vine and the OOF background and how could anyone give you a 4??? I love this! Good luck tomorrow..
    Then the pressure will be off.

    Wine Wine Wine! It sounds like sour grapes to me :) *OK ... I got that out of my system now*. I really like the dew (or rain) about to drip off the endof the bunch.

    the brown square formed by the vine makes a lovely frame.

    "So take me down to the harbor now, grapes of the summer are low on the bough...."

    Actually, these look a little like they are hanging from the gallows.... ;)
