Here's a favorite photo of my favorite grape, Zinfandel. This was taken with my Kodak Z650 when I was on a vineyard tour in the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, California. It was part of a ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) wine event. It was very cool to hear the vineyard masters talk about how they grew the grapes and other things about running a vineyard. The grapes are on an old vine that was 50 or more years old according to my memory but I could be wrong. The photo was taken in 2009.

I remember those grapes. My father used to make wine and the grapes came from California every fall. I used to help make it. It was fun. I also like the 'white zinfandel' wine which is actually a rose made by fermenting the zinfandel grape without the skin or removing the skin early on in the process. I only wish I had saved the panels on the wine boxes. They are a collectors item now.

Yep, during prohibition they used to make compressed dried grape bricks that came with instructions of all the things you shouldn't do because it would cause the grapes to become wine. I've seen some of those wrappers up at a winery or museum in the Napa area.
 
Here is a somewhat strange piece of art that was at Burning Man in 2007. It's called the Bone Tree and it was made of animal bones. I chose this way of taking the picture as if it were reaching out to touch the man that had been burned too early due to arson that year. They were able to build a new man and put it up before the real burn on the following Saturday.

Years ago we had a particular flowering bush that attracted all kinds of bees. Unfortunately it got diseased and didn’t produce many flowers so the bees became sparse. Over the last two years I hard pruned it down. They’re back and they’re huge. I like the sound of them. I’m never afraid of getting stung so they don’t sting me.

Well I tried it. It's of a moving stream. But the file is way too large to be able to post it here.
What would have to happen is that I would have to post it to you tube and then post a link, but I'm an amateur at that and I have never done it. This might be a new venture.
